Paperback. Condition: Very Good. ?This book will?no question?make you think in new ways. Why have we surrendered our cities to cars? What might it be like to inhabit a space designed for people instead? It?s exciting and hopeful?this we can do!??Bill McKibben, author of The Flag, The Cross, and the Station WagonAlmost everywhere in the world, streets are designed for travel at the highest speed, giving precedence to the chunkiest vehicles. We take for granted that the streets outside of our homes are designed only for movement from one point to another. But what happens if we radically rethink how we use these public spaces? Could we change our lives for the better? In Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, journalist Thalia Verkade and mobility expert (?the cycling professor?) Marco te Brömmelstroet take a three-year shared journey of discovery into the possibilities of our streets. They investigate and question the choices and mechanisms underpinning how these public spaces are designed and look at how they could be different. Verkade and te Brömmelstroet draw inspiration from the Netherlands and look at what other countries are doing, and could do, to diversify how they use their streets and make them safer.During the pandemic, decision-makers in cities around the world were confronted with the questions of who our streets belong to, how we want to use them, and who gets to decide. Making our communities safer, cleaner, and greener starts with asking these fundamental questions. To truly transform mobility, we need to look far beyond the technical aspects and put people at the center of urban design. Movement will change the way that you view our streets.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Our dependence on cars is damaging our health - and the planet's. Movement asks radical questions about how we approach the biggest urban problem, reflecting on the apparent successes of Dutch cities.Making our communities safer, cleaner, and greener starts with asking the fundamental question: who do our streets belong to?Although there have been experiments in decreasing traffic in city centres, and an increase in bike-friendly infrastructure, there is still a long way to go.In this enlightening and provocative book, Thalia Verkade and Marco te Brommelstroet confront their own underlying beliefs and challenge us to rethink our ideas about transport to put people at the centre of urban design.'Readable, thoughtful, and provocative, this book provides an entertaining overview of how the Netherlands became a mecca for cycling. The authors make a strong case for putting cycling at the heart of our transport systems, but also aren't shy about identifying some flaws in the Dutch approach, and considering how other countries could learn from them.'-Ben Coates, author of Why the Dutch Are Different'The book offers many unprecedented insights into traffic and mobility, convincingly poses the question of how important mobility actually is and suggests an answer to that. Movement is a compelling thinker.'-Jury citation from the Brussels Prize 2021'This book will - no question - make you think in new ways. Why have we surrendered our cities to cars? What might it be like to inhabit a space designed for people instead? It's exciting and hopeful - this we can do!'-Bill McKibben, author The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
