It’s going to be a hot week in Paris, with temperatures due to hit 29°C / 84°F! In these conditions it’s important to stay hydrated.
Stay hydrated
Water and other hydrating foods and liquids naturally soften your stool by keeping it from becoming hard and dry.

From that research he eventually identified two major systems for patterning space. Sociofugal space (gridlike) tends to keep people apart and suppress communication while sociopetal space (radial) does just the opposite. It brings people together and stimulates interaction as routes merge and overlap.
