It's incredible how much space is given to a few people in motor vehicles vs so many more people on foot or wheels. It's a vast inequity.

Nowhere is this more stark than #ShibuyaCrossing; the world's busiest pedestrian crossing with as many as 3,000 people crossing at a time. Compared to around 12 cars fromone direction of the junction in one sequence. #Urbanism #CitiesForPeople

@velobetty I live in Korea, and while greater Seoul area has great public transit and even decent bike traffic in some places, the space roads take up is insane.

Once my wife showed me a great playground, which is "so big", but then you go to the next intersection, and it is barely bigger than the intersection itself.
