How cities can be redesigned for neurodiversity
Cities aren’t designed for neurodiverse populations. Restorative Ground, an all-ages playground in Manhattan, aims to change that.
We are living in a time of increased awareness about neurodiversity. One in 54 children has been diagnosed with autism, and the World Health Organization estimates that one in eight people in the world is neurodiverse, and with many of these conditions considered hard to diagnose, the number is likely higher. Yet, cities are still failing to reflect that diversity.
