Vispārzināms taču, ka samazinot autosāvvietu skaitu, biznesi klapējas ciet, iedzīvotāji bēg, nodokļu ieņēmumi krītas, pilsēta izmirst un degradējas, bet te — jauns bruģis, apmales, asfalts, puķu dobes, velostatīvi un pat sienas gleznojums.
Un izskatās pēc vietas kur ne tikai var kaut kā izdzīvot, kā sākuma bildē, vai tādas, kura tīri ciešama, bet pēc tādas, kur tiešām gribētos uzturēties un dzīvot.

Trottoir traversant à #Copenhague. Toutes les petites rues qui mènent aux grands axes sont séparées de ceux-ci par le trottoir. Les piétons ne doivent pas s'arrêter tous les 30 m pour laisser passer les voitures. Les voitures attendent qu'il n'y ait plus personne puis traversent le trottoir. Notons les voies cyclables, larges et parfaitement distinctes du trottoir comme du reste de la chaussée #SoftCity #Cyclabilité

"With everyday exposure and regular encounters comes relevance. With time, this awareness and understanding can grow into reverence, when people care about planet, people, and place. Changing mindsets leads ultimately to changing behaviors.

In this way, neighborhood is not a place; it's a state of mind."

“The Nordic approach of embracing reality rather than trying to escape it might improve our lives. We can learn to celebrate the everyday rather than lament it, to live with the weather, live within our means, and live with the neighbors we have.”
