Sitting Out Areas
Every few blocks in the crowded urban place that is Hong Kong, there are small pocket parks, appealing little places where there are inevitably people sitting. These are not the typical neighborhood places of the United States where you might see a few families, perhaps some children; the denseness of the population, combined with the relatively small flats where most people live, make these "sitting out areas" essential. Few of them have any actual grass, but there are always nice trees, perhaps some shrubbery, to soften people's lives.

This is a great idea! large cities in the U.S. could benefit from these little "sitting out areas" as much as from large family parks, I think.
