The film that help inspired a generation of urbanists. “Social Life of Small Urban Spaces” by William H. Whyte, has been recently re-uploaded to youtube after being unavailable online for several years. CityLab (now owned by Bloomberg) provides a great summary here.

It is by far the best film (or early video essay even) to break-down what it takes to directly study and understand how people interact with spaces in cities, enjoy!
