TOWN PLANNING MUST SERVE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
In these enlightened times, we (thankfully, correctly, appropriately) see a diverse tapestry of people in media.
Talk five minutes to a planner and he or she will tell you they are the most diverse and enlightened of the many practitioners that shape the built environment.
As such, I wouldn’t expect to see a sample street section or civic space—with dozens of people enjoying the new human-focused design—and all of them are 30-year-old white males.
And I never do.
Planners know (whether it is based on truly embracing all, or simply
understanding they better market to all) to embrace ethnic diversity in those
little mock-up, computer clip art human beings moving about their imagined new
towns.
