Today I talked with Sarah Lukins, who has Master Degrees in Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning. We talked about how we as a society prioritize movement in public spaces, how we can rethink our use of public space, and what we can learn from other countries. From parks to roads to trampolines, we discussed not only movement, but ease of movement too.
