Summary

With plantar fasciitis forcing you to stay indoors while others revel in the sunshine, you’re forced to confront a harsh truth: even “ideal” cities like Leiden aren’t built for everyone.

It’s a wake-up call for urban planners and everyday citizens alike: design that’s truly inclusive isn’t just nice—it’s necessary.
