- Times City Architects Failed To Understand People’s Needs, And It Resulted In These ‘Desire Paths’
We are Happy Land.
Every day is an exciting experience with vivid, humorous, failure or happy emotions. We wish you would enjoy watching them.

this is how all paths should be made, just let the people walk naturally
They built a new Mess hall at a Navy base, but before they put the sidewalks in, the base Commander said wait until the Sailors show you where to put them. A month later they put the sidewalks where the people had beat down a path.
Decades ago, this was also done at a new community college.
Smart Commander.
So… military intelligence is actually a thing?
Nice, just another one of the reasons why our military (I assume you are from the US) is the best.
If you are not from the US, then I applaud the Navy of whatever country you are from.

I'm 48 years old and never heard of the phrase "desire path". I understand what is meant by it, just sort of interesting.
We was both born in same year! 😁😁😁😁😁
Yeah same never heard kf it but I get ot
We call them short-cuts
@@LynetteMcGrath fai enough lol :)
@2.08 My mathematics teacher Subramaniam Ji taught us *Pythagoras theorem* as *ASS* theorem. I always wondered how donkeys could be smarter than us, by using the hypotenuse length rather than walking the two sides to reach the same destination. The image reminds me my teacher who believed teaching practicality was important than the syllabus. None failed in his class.
🙏 Subramaniam Guruji.
It’s always a good idea to wait on the concrete for a few months if possible, to see where people actually want to walk.
No idea this was a thing, very cool. Thanks Happy Land
In Germany we would call one of these "Trampelpfad" (a trampled path). The term "desire path" is new to me, but it's so much nicer. I have one directly in front of my house, which I will now think of with this lovely term.
Never heard the term "desire path" before, all my life they were called "shortcuts" as in "take a shortcut across the grass".
Same in Denmark (Trampesti) and there are +300 and over 1.200 km official path and numberous not registred . These are path through private areas (and allowed by landowner) and gives the public acceess to.. well nature off the main road, through fields, meadows and around the coast. If you ever come to Denmark andf wat to expirence nature - a good way to enjoy it.
Never heard them called "desire paths" before, cool name!
"Desire Path"? We used to call them Short Cuts.
I know! Wtf is going on?
I dont like desired paths.
It might lead to a WRONG TURN 7
A desire path is a shortcut, but a shortcut isn’t always a desire path.
@@sparkybish It kind of is. People intentionally desire a different route so create a short cut rather than sticking with the conventional path. What are illustrated her are short cuts, not convoluted scenic routes.
@@l.5832 I know. I said they were shortcuts. But not all shortcuts are desire paths. Know a faster way to drive to a destination? Shortcut. Know how to make bread a little faster using some trick? A shortcut.
My former school got fed up with the Desire Path of us students (and probably some teachers too) and built tall flower beds to force us to use the paved path 😅
You might mention this when they solicit you for donations 😆
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS common practice to follow the elephant path to design the desired path. Others just don't get it. Form follows function.
The thumbnail alone was enough to convince me that the city has failed peoples needs.
I have seen stuff like that in real life heh.
The Dorset one is a designated footpath. Older than the field, which is huge. Likely followed a removed hedgerow/field divider.
Why stand when you can sit down and why sit down when you can lie down ? It's human nature to use the least amount of energy !!!!!🤗
I don't think it's just Humans
Extreme desired path!😂🤣 Sometimes I follow the desired path other times I make my own.😆😆
My dad told me that Ohio State University let the students make their footpaths before paving them. Late 40s/early 50s.
The first one
saves MANY
lives to come.
I never knew the terms Desire Path or Elephant Path until today.
I live in Minnesota (and so was the college I went to) and we have summer desire paths. My college had only a few desire paths and half of them went out of use during the winter and early spring because of the snow and mud… unless a few people were brave enough to begin the path after a snowfall.
For each time you walk your 'desire path', is like a vote for where the path should be improved 😜
3:50 In France we call them "hedgehog paths".
Ah ? Jamais entendu l'expression, mais je l'aime beaucoup. Adoptée !
0:30: Just be careful, there's some places (I think the UK for one) where leaving a path open like that for a year and a day will make it a public footpath in perpetuity! Property owners will close the path for 1 day a year to prevent this. Personally I'd add bear traps, but that's just me...
I would put a big towel over the property but that is just my german instinct.
It sounds like the owner doesn't care about it though. At least that's what I understand by them choosing not to build a fence,
There is a law in Canada too. I think it's called adverse possession in which a person who continuously used a property uninterrupted or unchallenged will eventually gain rights to that property.
@@g.a7612 No law that I am aware of here in Canada. There are no squatters rights here. Occupation does not give you any inherent right unless in common law or marital relationship.
@@l.5832 Oh, I was referring to section 13 and 15 of the Ontario Real Property Limitations Act where a person exercises exclusive possession of another person's property adversely (without the owner's permission), continuously and openly, the original owner's interest in that portion of the land that was used will be extinguished after 10 years of uninterrupted use, and the person who has used the land will obtain the fee simple estate.
Indeed Canada does not have a squatter area. I was not referring to squatter when I wrote this comment though.
Nice, can totally relate
Beautiful music. 😢😢😢
3:25 that’s actually pretty smart. Let the students go the way naturally then us that as your template for your paths. Saves money on needless paving.
The pet ones make me want to cry.
My family’s old dog made a near-perfect circle. He’d run around it 14 times anytime someone left or came home. And he always ran it clockwise. It had banked turns, and a deep groove where his paws hit. No clue why he did it… he just did
@@icarusbinns3156 Ah, thanks.
well done!
Designers really shouldn't need to wait to see where people *want* to walk. A little bit of common sense should spot the most direct, shortest line between two points - say a gate and the door to a building.
Too much ego involved.
In the UK we call them wish paths
No, we don't.
This is so funny to watch
2:15 that's the dumbest design for a sidewalk ever
May be meant to reduce steepness. Especially in winter a long steep path can be really slippery
Absolutely dumb. The only thing that would make it make sense is if the path was curving around and between mature trees. But clearly, no trees🤷♀️
I have been in towns and parks where the sidewalks and footpaths are nicely paved But they zig-zag or weave back & forth. Some designer trying to be clever or something. Sure enough, there were always little paths in the grass where people just walked straight.
Are designers even human? Do THEY walk in zig-zags to get somewhere? Probably if there really drunk all the time. But most of us are not drunk, so a STRAIGHT, DIRECT path will do, thank you! In a nearby small town, there is a desire road. The street goes way down one way to meet another road at a T. But people just drove over the small hill and down to the other road to go up the road instead of driving about 300 more feet down only to go back up again.
All of that zig-zag silliness is supposed to be more aesthetic or appealing. I think that it is a load of horse-pucky.
It makes more sense when there's something in-between like hedges or trees. I've seen paths like that in parks usually with interpretive signs. Since the walk is leisure already there isn't much reason to cut the corners. Couldn't see any reason for it in some of these though.
The designers are architects, not engineers. And we all know that engineers are better than architects...
Some people are just lazy, stay on the paths
The path less traveled.
