usage. There are other names for them: social trails, pirate paths, cow paths,
donkey paths, goat tracks, elephant trails, and doubtless more. They appear where
people repeatedly choose to walk, and usually signify a route from A to B that is
quicker or more easily navigated than the formal path provided (see Figure 1.1
a, b, c). This can be interpreted as a design failure; the formal path was rejected
because there was a better way. Or perhaps there’s no path at all. Desire lines
can show the mismatch between what a designer thinks best and what people
actually prefer. They also speak of a sense of local knowledge, where local people
see better routes than those by designers or planners. The symbolism seems apt
for a book about putting local people at the centre of the design process, and
allowing their needs and wishes to shape development.” (Malone, 2018, p.4)
