Rachel Abrams, faculty member for Strategies in Design Practice this fall, writes about five ways to redesign a city for Issue 6 of the Design Council Magazine. “Half the world’s population now lives in cities. So the task of redesigning urban life to ensure it works for everyone is more pressing than ever,” says Rachel. From visual information, social interaction, way-finding, mass transit, and going green, the areas worth exploration in our chaotic urban landscapes underscore what good design is capable of: make everyday living easier, smarter, and feel good.
