Dancing in the streets used to be a thing and still is an many cultures. Seems it got lost in industrialization. Christopher Alexander proposes to use more of this and provide suitable spaces for it (which also got lost though it's unclear what is cause and what effect). The book is hard to get but luckily there is Google Books:
A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction - section on dancing in the streets
You're in luck! I found some copies available on this incredibly obscure website called Amazon.
(de, uk, fr, jp. The French one appears not to be available from Amazon itself but only from their marketplace sellers; the others are all from Amazon itself.)
OK I agree. The English original probably is OK to get. The very good German translation is almost impossible to get. With some patience I got one for more than 100 EUR.
Given that the orginal is in English, why read a translation?
Apart from that the English version seems to be available on the website network that recently got a lot of press attention.
Don't tell me. I tried to get it for my less anglophile friends and family.
