@Natasha_Jay at the Uni campus of Heidelberg University they actually paved the desired paths which were brown soil through the green. Let the feet decide, not planners.

 @Natasha_Jay @Dingsextrem Or then, Aalto University. Crowdsourced (also by me) and then formalized paths in the foreground, the ones crossing the lawn with no trees along them. @ELS @Natasha_Jay @Dingsextrem interesting to see that the desired path is not always the shortest. Sometimes it's under the shade of trees, for example. @ELS this looks beautiful, reminds me of something organic in a petri dish  Pretty sure we had a few of those at my college in the North East of the US, where they just paved the well worn foot paths Always seemed eminently reasonable solution to me, optimizing for where people actually went.  @Natasha_Jay @Dingsextrem Illinois Tech built their whole campus center around desire paths. Makes it hard to give directions inside the building though 🤣 https://www.metalocus.es/en/news/iit-mccormick-tribune-campus-center-oma @Dingsextrem @Natasha_Jay There is also a path at the @TU that got formalized. Still unpaved though, as is the path it is leading to. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/30123154#map=17/49.877104/8.654523 Edit: I'm seeing now the tagging needs to be updated. |
