In the Netherlands they call a fork in the road, “Olifantenpaadjes” which (sometimes literally) translates to “Elephant path.” It’s a path that slowly comes into existence when people always try to take the same shortcut. Man is always the shortest way from A to B. Urban planners and city planners often want different paths. But why is this? Elephant Paths is an optimistic indictment of a scenic abuse.
