In this episode, Chuck explains why our current situation, though tense, actually presents a great opportunity for advocates of street safety, walkability, and bikeability. He then lays out a number of common misconceptions and errors that advocates will have to avoid if they want to take advantage of this opportunity. ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES Chuck Marohn (Substack)

In the dense urban landscape of Tokyo, it’s easy to focus on the sights in front of you: crowds of thousands emerging from packed train stations at rush hour; expanses of restaurants and izakayas; small roadside shrines next to blinking lights and trains passing through level crossings.
