@zonedoutplanner A sidewalk isn’t just concrete. It’s how neighbors meet without planning to. How kids learn independence. How a stranger’s “good morning” turns into a friendship. When we design streets without sidewalks, we don’t just remove a path, we remove the chance encounters that make places feel alive. Sidewalks are where life leaks out of our homes and becomes shared space. Take them away, and the neighborhood goes quiet.#urbanplanning#sidewalk#ZOP♬ me va a costar - Kevin Kaarl
