What would happen if you became curious about how other see and experience life?
What would happen if you created safe places for people to express themselves?
What would happen if you listened, without judgement?
Find someone different to talk a (virtual) walk with and be curious.
There’s always more than one way to see or experience things. When thinking about infrastructure, spaces, and systems, it can be enlightening to try to put yourself in another’s shoes. How would this path, this bridge, this bus feel if you were someone other than you? How does this feel different if you walk or bike instead of drive? Is it comfortable? Easy? Welcoming? Safe?
Better yet, invite someone who’s different from you to take a walk with you, and ask them about it. You might be surprised at how differently they experience the same space.
