I was thinking about what makes images like this so charming, vs. looking out at most cities.

I think one reason is that it is a composition of a lot of small human-scaled cozy places.

Our cities could learn a lesson.

Classical architects must have understood this.

There is something comforting about seeing human scale elements - balconies, 3 storey buildings and towers, embedded into a much larger building.

You could be placed anywhere on this building and not feel out of place.

This is lost in modern urban planning and architecture.

Nothing is 'human scale' - Nothing can be walked around, reached out and touched. Nothing relates to me as a human here. No little charming nooks for me to either physically rest, or rest my eyes on.

I would consider all of these charming places (fictional and real) because they are a composition of human scaled elements: stair cases, doors, balconies, no long blank walls, paths that are not too wide, places to sit and talk and watch.

Place yourself anywhere and you belong.
