Use of Bricks in Urban Planning

In Urban Planning, the brick has a lot of uses. The first use that i´m going to tell you, is that of course the brick is used in the construction of buildings, and those buildings are an important part of the city. Also, you can used it when you are creating public spaces, like sidewalks, local streets, boulevards, parkinglots, squares, etc. Also, bricks have a decorative function in the city, you can create mosaics and different designs in the spaces that I said before. And it also gives you a way to mix nature with constructed spaces. But i think the most important use of bricks in urban planning is when you want to create a certain type of space, I mean, a space that is not to rigid and not to fragil, and this is a space that give you a different sensation that when you´re in the city or in the country, because it makes you fell comfortable.
