think Softer?

In order to solve global urban challenges, we sometimes actually need to think smaller and build at a human scale. In response to a polarised and segregated world we need to think lower, making accessible places where everyone can meet at eye-level. We need to be mindful of the human pace in everyday life, as well as  the need to bring everyone with us on complex planning processes, and therefore sometimes think slower. And in a time when we are being bombarded with expensive and at times invasive technologies, we need to think simpler. Putting all this together, to make kinder, gentler and more responsive and sustainable environments for human beings, we need to think softer.
