It s a trend! Back to the Future Redefining our urban spaces for the common good
7000 years The car changed our perception of what streets are for. As well as inventing traffic engineering. It happened overnight. Out of desperation. It was massive. For 7000 years, streets were the most democratic spaces in the history of homo sapiens. The car changed all that.
This change in our perception of streets is the greatest paradigm shift in the history of homo sapiens in cities. It took two decades. We re still paying the price. The Autmobile Industry wakes up. Using marketing, spin and name-calling. Inventing jaywalking, crosswalks & playgrounds.

Change the Question from: How many cars can we move down a street? (so last century) To: How many PEOPLE can we move down a street?
It s a trend! Urbanism Questioning traffic engineering for the first time in 75 years. Focusing on cities as attractive, safe, healthy places.
7000 years of rationality and in only 60-odd years, it all went wrong.
All the campaigns for ride a bike or take the bus are a fantastic waste of money unless you do this for cars.

Why Copenhageners cycle: 56% - quick/ convenient 19% - good exercise 6% - inexpensive 1% - save the planet A2Bism. It is all homo sapiens want. Make the bicycle the fastest way from A to B and people will do it.
