Over the last 80 years we have been making cities much more for cars mobility than for children’s
happiness.

Why all streets for motor vehicles? Why not design a city
where half the streets be for pedestrians and bicycles only?.

In Bogotá the Porvenir Promenade, an 18 km pedestrian
street was built through many neighborhoods that did not even have pavement in their streets. It was a project for the people, not
the motor vehicles.

Why is public space important in a city with many other problems?
It is during leisure times that income differences are felt more
acutely. While higher income citizens have access to large
houses, clubs, country houses, vacations, lower income citizens only alternative to television is
public pedestrian space.

Cars on sidewalks or parking bays where there should be sidewalks suggest that citizens with cars are
more important than those who don’t have them.

Parking is not a constitutional right. Governments should not allow pedestrian spaces to be used for parking and no public
funds should be used for parking facilities.

Sidewalks are not simply for getting from one place to another.
They are for walking aimlessly, talking, playing, enjoying the city.

Traffic engineers like to build roads next to waterfronts because there are few intersections. But many cities regret deeply having built
motor-car roads next to their waterfronts.
