Times People Reshaped Their Urban Landscape By Creating “Desire Paths”

[@ryanjohnson3615]

A college campus in Wyoming did a good job by leaving a central field as grass for a couple years and then going in and paving where all the paths had been worn in.

That was oddly fascinating.

Most of these we call short cuts

Never knew these things had a name…

if the one between the trees in the field is England or Wales it's because that's where the public footpath runs which is legally the only place you are allowed to walk. Some of them take quite illogical routes for historical reasons, like to pass through a gate in a wall or fence none of which have existed for years.

Simple....why walk in the sun when you can walk in the shade?
