Common Ground

City-building at neighbourhood scale

A coastal neighbourhood with gardens, trams and public squares

Build at the scale of a walk home.

Common Ground is our city-building game concept. Start with a few streets and give people practical reasons to use them. A corner shop, a safer crossing or a pocket garden can change how a whole block fits together.

Three decisions on the same block

Place an everyday destination

Put a market near homes and see which doorways and paths become part of the morning routine.

Make the square easy to cross

Open a useful route through the public space. Watch whether neighbours pass through, slow down or stay.

Read the street after a change

Trace a resident’s trip after moving a stop or reopening an entrance. The journey shows what a single score would miss.
