I drive through Barcelona in 10 minutes and it's a 5 million super dense city, no dramas.
But London has been taken over by the ecologist dictators who enjoy your pain ("bleeding heals") and that's why London is a city with no future.
And I say Barcelona but I could say Warsaw, Paris, Kiev, and so on.
London had very few roads already and the current major took care to close them one by one.
- mr_toad 10mo agoBarcelona has 1.6 million vs Londons 8+ million. Also Barcelonas street layout was mostly designed in one go, whereas London’s street plan just kind of congealed over the centuries. Also Barcelona has terrible air pollution.
- ecolojetas 10mo agoThat's why London should be opening more roads instead of closing the very few they have, while Barcelona can afford having more pedestrian segments. Instead London decided to put bus lanes and bike lanes and wider sidewalks Very ecological but fatal for the city, which has the worst commute speeds anywhere in Europe. That's a competitive economy? Nope!!
- multjoy 10mo agoNonsense. Traffic speed is not proportional to a competitive economy.

- baud147258 10mo agoWhile I agree with some of your points in the thread, Paris is a pain to cross, whatever the direction.
