"As citizens began demanding sustainable development and a better quality of life, the elevated highway over Cheonggyecheon, requiring either costly repairs or demolition, became a test case for a new way of thinking about urban space." We chose the costly repairs 🤦

New Yorkers: neither your city nor your country are that unusual, you are at a well-studied point on the public opinion curve for traffic reduction measures. (the "Goodwin Curve")
This curve was observed in London, Stockholm, and many other cities.

There is a @replacethem8.bsky.social campaign to try to put right some of the damage done to Glasgow by motorways. There's currently a multimillion, multiyear project to repair a concrete viaduct, which I think could be an opportunity to get the motorway out of the city centre

Perhaps no other UK city has built a monument to automobility quite as gruesome as Glasgow's M8. But its story nonetheless resonates across urban Britain.

More than 50 years on since the M8 was carved through the city, ripping up communities in its wake, could a future without it be on the cards? The @replacethem8.bsky.social campaigners think so. ✍ @marissamacwhirter.bsky.social

“This scar will never heal”: Could Glasgow ever replace the M8?

Did you know there's a massive 60s concrete megastructure that divides Glasgow city centre from its surrounding neighbourhoods? 🤔🏙️ It doesn't have to be this way! Let's reimagine this massive area of land for a more connected and accessible city! 🌍✨ #Glasgow #UrbanRevitalization

Hi everyone moving over from Twitter. Please follow if you think Glasgow needs to rethink the 60s motorway which slices through the city centre!
