What do you expect from it?
- baybal2 9y agoJust curious to see findings. I'm very enthusiastic to see the issue getting more coverage. I used to have a lot of interest in architecture and design. When I first came to North America, I was surprised by disfunctional urban planning, and even more so by the fact that very few Americans were giving any concern to that.

The vast majority of everyone's experience of public transportation is shitty, slow busses and commuter trains with limited schedules and stops that you drive to. So cities that force you to use public transit sound really unappealing to people that haven't experienced something like Tokyo. These two factors are why Americans don't have much concern about urban planning.
