Urban Form in Munich: 

The humble courtyard - a European trademark of urban design - creates the opportunity of a magnificent middle ground between public and private space. For cities elsewhere to become more livable and acceptable to those accustomed to privacy (suburban yards, for example), this value must be acknowledged. Semi-private space is vital to community well-being.
