Planners and designers are responsible for creating spaces that address the needs of the people utilizing them, while simultaneously allowing natural and built environments to engage living things and be fully experienced. For this to become the norm, a combination of creativity, positive progression, and the incorporation of social responsibility into decision making processes must start being mandated. Only by knowing the community you serve, as well as their wants and needs, can systems be made to correctly represent them" (Brooks, 2020).

When a city is thought about, most people can and will remember certain features or identifiable landmarks that provide unique memories and experiences. Examples of these can include major historical monuments, a vivid mural spread across the side of a brick building, or even the smell of different foods when entering a downtown area during lunch time. Although these physical manifestations differ greatly, they all have one basis in common: people.
​Humans lie at the root of city design
​and are the beings fueling the continuous change of the urban societies and cultures needing proper and efficient management" (Brooks, 2018).
