    The document proposes designs for urban spaces that can encourage pedestrians in NYC to slow down and have positive interactions with their environment during the work day. Specifically, it suggests repurposing unused sidewalk areas and objects to create ephemeral experiences for pedestrians, such as installations that incorporate color, bubbles, or other elements to initiate breaks from busy routines and inspire creativity. The goal is to improve quality of life by promoting mindfulness and enjoyment of the present moment during walks through the city.
