Using technology to build communities and paths
Text and drawing by Frits Ahlefeldt
Sometimes local communities find ways to use smartphones, apps and maps to connect and be together in better ways, ways that both support interaction, builds trust to local landowners and protects biodiversity
Using apps to plan, organize and create trails and communities we can give hope that we can actually use technology in ways that do not isolate us and create loneliness. Instead we can use it to coordinate the realization of new understandings, options, outdoor activities and thrive.
