Street Wisdom

People

Street Wisdom is the brainchild of David Pearl, an innovator in business, the arts and social change. Having spent years exploring how our urban environment can deliver fresh insight, in 2013 he set up the first Street Wisdom event in Covent Garden, London. Since then, the movement has grown to over 87 countries and counting, led by volunteers sharing the power of Street Wisdom free of charge through communities across the globe. We’re on a mission to bring inspiration to every street on the planet!

Every year we celebrate Street Wisdom by wandering together on one day across the globe, we call it The World Wide Wander – an international coalition of the creative, curious and courageously kind-hearted.

It’s a day to imagine better futures for us, our communities and our planet. Together.

You can join us at an in-person Walkshop or one of our online sessions running throughout the day.

Come and join our festival of future seekers!

desire path

A term mostly used by town planners or architects to describe the short-cut paths created by people. So a path around a square ‘green’ will often have a desire path cutting off the corners. Town planners recognise them as an admission that the initial path was put in the wrong place. Called ‘Elephant Paths’ in some countries.
