Skycourts and Skygardens are alternative social spaces, often located in dense cities that lack parks, streets, squares and other communal areas due urbanisation and the privatisation of space. They are designed to replace the green, open spaces that are lost with alternative spaces either on the ground, or in the sky within or on top of skyscrapers and other buildings. == The loss of the public space == Increasing urbanisation and rising land prices has increased densification of cities. While this provides many benefits, such as shorter distances between urban functions, easier access to facilities and transport, it often comes at the cost of wide-open spaces such as parks, squares and gardens, where society can congregate and interact. Poorly planned urban environments that are overly dense can result in an environment that does not support the psycho-social needs of its inhabitants, leading to increased depression, lower communal interaction, stress and higher crime and vandalism. == Social benefits == Skycourts and skygardens provide locations for social interaction, replacing areas traditionally situated in parks or the street. These spaces may allow students to gather, office workers to share lunch or tourists to congregate. However, unlike the street or the park, skycourts and skygardens are often semi-public spaces, owned by a company or other private interests. As such, the spaces are generally managed and controlled. Skycourts can also play a role in facilitating urban movement, by linking buildings to each other and public transport infrastructure. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skycourts and Skygardens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
