Listen "What Does a People-Friendly City Look Like?"
Episode Synopsis
A successful city is a lot like a puzzle, but it shouldn’t feel that way for the people living in it. What if walking through a city felt more like an invitation, and less like a challenge? In this episode we explore how sensory design, social design, and inclusive design can transform urban environments into places that are easy to exist in.
