Paths

"Collect all the paths you can think of in a pile, pull out the 8 paths that 80% of your visitors come looking for, and that’s your home page."

A lot of planning is about information design, and it is very important to separate out how we experience data from how the user of a plan experiences it. We may think it hierarchies, but the user thinks in paths.

A good short blog post about the difference between paths and hierarchies. Could be important in the way that we think about our website or our plans.
