After understanding that the objective is to attempt to make an argument about the space of study, I really focused on elements regarding the way people behave and interact in these locations. For Copley Place I immediately noticed that it is low population density and very elegant. The stores had security guards and there were also mall guards. The primary language heard in this location was english, and the movement of people was limited. People also carried fewer bags from their purchases in this location. This varied greatly with Prudential Center. Prudential center had a lot of people walking in a small area. The population density was way higher. More tourists(foreign languages spoken) were evident. People also came to shop in greater amounts as people had more bags. Security did not seem to be as prevalent. Finally, in mapping Newbury Street, I decided to map the amount of trash cans and fancy cars. The stores are literally located in the urban landscape. The trash cans in excess help reduce trash and maintain a pleasing location. I also abstractly depicted population density by creating a bell curve showing the population density on each segment of the street.
