HomeTown has been designed "for" children - from the streets, to the parks, to the Living Courts and Living Lanes, to the homes themselves - like a small town. Research shows that children spend 35% to 45% of their playtime running and walking, 10% to 15% on bicycles, tricycles, or other wheeled toys, and 25% to 35% just sitting or standing. The Living Courts, Living Lanes, public walks, Neighborhood Parks and public parks all are designed to more safely accommodate these activities.

As importantly, parents want to feel that their children are safer and more secure with regards to cars and strangers. The only way to accomplish this is with Living Lanes and Living Courts. Strangers have no reason to go there so they feel uncomfortable being there and they know they're being watched.
