The path

How would our cities be if car did not dominate them?

Today, most of cites are mastered by cars which product pollution, noise, dead cashes and less surface for people. If the XX century had been different and vehicles such as bicycles, buses or trains would be opted for, I assure you that there would be far less car fatalities, people would have better health and psychology, climate change could be no problem today, children would still play on streets, adults would enjoy streets and neighbor relationships more, extracted energy from Earth would be less, wildlife would be higher and perhaps more diverse, local stores would sell more as people cycling and walking have time to see the products they sold versus people in cars who does not have time enough to focus or even see products that stores sell. They told cars improve safety in cities, but this is not true. Some examples that demonstrate it are:

– Curitiba (Brazil): For its urban planning, not focused on cars

– Copenhagen (Denmark): For its urban infrastructure and cyclist planning

– Vancouver (Canada): For its example on shared mobility

– Singapore: For its accurate tax system for vehicles

– Zurich (Switzerland): For a good-thought, public transport system
