One of my favourite things to post are inspiring before-and-after photos of transformed urban places. They often speak for themselves…except what you can’t tell from the after-photos is that vehicle traffic often actually gets BETTER.
This one of #Dusseldorf #Germany’s waterfront comes from @iamcais.

@BrentToderian Did they finally come to understand cars were bad, get rid of them all, and rebuild a 15 minute city, oriented around pedestrians and bikes? No, they just buried the freeway. All the same car dependency, emissions, parking garages, etc, and none of the enlightenment.
@hubick @BrentToderian I’d still consider it a significant quality of life improvement.
