As Christopher Alexander explains in his books: we forgot how important it is to build for humans. I think that's the core of the problem.
But sometimes it's difficult to see what this means. Building roads for cars isn't bad because it's helping humans to travel. But when car roads overtake the pleasure of being outside something went wrong.
- awjr 11y agoI think the major issue is that we prioritise roads for cars. When I was in Orlando, Fl., we tried crossing the junction near our hotel on foot and gave up and drove. We need to prioritise walking, then cycling, and then driving. Segregating each form of transport is key. In the USA, putting roads onto a "road diet" is easier in many cases due to the size of the lanes you have. http://gizmodo.com/what-the-heck-is-a-road-diet-1727066519 http://gizmodo.com/what-the-heck-is-a-road-diet-1727066519
