The density, i.e. 4000 person/ha does not keep discreteness. Certain density arises.

The most remarkable aspect of the three dimensional city is its ease and speed of vertical movement. a drawing

In discrete space every dwelling is ideally equidistant. This results in equal acknowledgement of any group, even One-person city.But won't this bring about an ordinary neighbourhood? a drawing

How does the public space of three dimensional Discrete City developed? The sketch shows the system of public hung from above. a drawing

Discrete distribution is not always homogeneous distribution. Enviromentally suitable distribution of One-person city,which is called "burst", must be considered. a drawing
