Lessons from low-rise neighborhood "village Tokyo":
1. Use gap spaces to encourage permeability and adaptability ("shared extra courtyard/backyard")
2. Encourage dispersed small greenery (in these spaces)
3. Use distinct street types to create gradations in landscape
4. Foster collective safety via street-side doors and windows ("neighborhood CCTV")
5. Allow for variety of building types/use even in residential areas
