The Greater Gateways Initiative is an initiative of the Master in Urban Planning program at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. It offers students in the second-semester core studio an opportunity to work with city planning departments, community-based organizations, and other stakeholders to identify the ways in which Gateway Cities can better serve the needs of their diverse residents. https://greatergatewaysinitiative.com/Main Mon, 23 Nov 2020 00:01:05 +0000 Greater Gateways Initiative https://greatergatewaysinitiative.com/Main DEEP IDLER ™ We have only to speak of an object to think that we are being objective                     But because we chose it in the first place, the object reveals more about us than we do about it. ︎ ︎ Gaston Bachelard            What we consider to be our fundamental ideas concerning the world are often indications of the immaturity of our minds. Sometimes we stand in wonder before a chosen object; we build up hypotheses and reveries; in this way we form convictions which have all the appearance of true knowledge. But the initial course is impure: the first impression is not a fundamental truth.
