often we are not really aware of it, but: our cities are geared towards cars. the swedish graphic artist Karl Jilg shows in a simple but ingenious illustration how little space in cities often remains for pedestrians.
@Mabelz cuz cars r big and pedestrians r smol
@arcade but do we need to? for more people or for smaller roads and larger buildings?
@lamp i say we build more bike stuff, more human friendly streets, like look at basically all of europe, especially the netherlands. also public transit ofc
@arcade
I mean, even large European cities with good biking facilities don't appear so many to me.
I'll go through some cities I visited
Amsterdam: Amazing
Berlin: didn't notice a lot, but not too bad overall
Stuttgart: not much
Madrid: not very good
Rome: ahahaha no, kill yourself
Milano: no
Ljubljana: quite good
Warsaw: decent at least in the center
Zagreb: No
Bordeaux: it had some biking lanes in the center
Barcelona: quite nice
@lamp
@rastinza @lamp touché. My point of reference is American suburbia so basically anything feels like a ton. Also those cities, for the most part, are really walkable, even if you can't bike. And a lot of them have amazing public transit (Stuttgart my beloved)
