👁How kids can help design cities
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English
👣Adults tend to think of kids as \"future citizens\" -- their ideas and opinions will matter someday, just not today. But kids make up a quarter of the population, so shouldn't they have a say in what the world they'll inherit will look like? Urban planner Mara Mintzer shares what happened when she and her team asked kids to help design a park in Boulder, Colorado -- and how it revealed an important blind spot in how we construct the built environment. \"If we aren't including children in our planning, who else aren't we including?\" Mintzer asks.

👁Urbanization and the future of cities - Vance Kite
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish
👣About 10,000 years ago, hunter-gatherers, aided by rudimentary agriculture, moved to semi-permanent villages and never looked back. With further developments came food surpluses, leading to commerce, specialization and, many years later with the Industrial Revolution, the modern city.
