“Rather than designing places for people, we see #cities as a collection of mechanical problems with technical and legal solutions”
“We need to #design physical #cities to be more enriching and distinguished. The degree to which a #city becomes more #equitable and #resilient has to do with its physical attributes. How the physical #city changes determines the degree to which we can deal with #housing affordability, #mobility and #climate adaptation” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/to-design-cities-right-we-need-to-focus-on-people/ #planning #urbanism
