Neighborhood

Spatial relations are constructed by asking quotidian questions. Does M. Dupont's parcel border on M. Durant's parcel? Does the river flow into the lake? Is M. Dubonnet's villa located near the railway line? Is there an air route connection between Paris and Montreal? How far is Lausanne from Paris? Which is the shortest path between two villages? Etc.
