Slowly but surely, cities around the world are realising that prioritizing space for cars in land-deficient urban areas might not actually be a good idea.
Cars can be great for travelling longer distances, but in cities, they simply don’t work efficiently.
That’s why many urban planners are increasingly focussing on urban microbility (i.e. prioritizing access for people on bicycles, scooters or on foot), which frees up tonnes of valuable space on city streets, while simultaneously making the area a more enjoyable and safer place to be.
Below, we’ve compiled some before and after photos of city transformations that have gone from focussing on cars to focussing on people.
The results are stunning.
