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 This is what shocked me when I went there. I always assumed it to be the heart of Tokyo in terms of traffic or something, and there really weren't that many cars at all.

@David There aren't! It's really strange that the city is so dense but there is so much space given to cars!
