Description
Radically rethink the streets outside your home and transform your life. Our dependence on cars is damaging our health and the planet. The Dutch have successfully created bike highways, but what about pedestrians, cyclists, children, and wildlife? Why do we prioritize traffic above all else? Journalist Thalia Verkade and urban mobility expert Marco te Brömmelstroet challenge the status quo, asking fundamental questions about who owns our streets, what they're used for, and who decides. Their approach puts people at the centre of urban design, leading to safer, cleaner, and greener communities.
