Cities, at least in the US, tend to be organized in squares or blocks, most often with many straight lines. The roads separating the city blocks are also straight and cross one another constantly, creating an endless series of sharp corners. The buildings in a city often have nowhere to go except up, so they stab at the sky and are peppered with antennas and whatnot.

If you can look over the expanse of a city, you will see gaps or open spaces scattered here and there. These can be ponds, golf courses, meadows, parks, stadiums, and so on. The point is that in many cities these open formations are the only place where all the flowing Qi can settle or collect. Living near or close by to one of the open Qi collectors can be very auspicious. However, as many parks are square or rectangular, you want to be careful not to have one of the four corners of the park pointing at your front door.
