Daphne Lundi and Louise Yeung propose 'romantic urbanism,' advocating for urban designs that facilitate connections and counteract isolation, drawing inspiration from classic rom-coms.
The concept of 'third places' is crucial; urban amenities like parks and art galleries become the backdrop for romance, as shown in films like 'Rye Lane'.
In 'Hot Frosty', the picturesque town where Kathy meets Jack is depicted as a '5-minute city,' illustrating how urban design can foster connections.
Lundi and Yeung emphasize that post-pandemic urban planning should prioritize spaces that encourage romance and social interaction, inspired by the charm of romantic films.
