We need one US leader who sees the Matrix and gets it: public spaces are the best part of a city (not private spaces). But children cannot co-exist with cars moving faster than a crawl. In car-free spaces, children thrive. Once one city is transformed like Paris it could start a revolution.
IMPORTANT: Paris has been implementing a 5-Year Pedestrian Plan:
- 300 million € invested by 2026
- 100 new hectares of pedestrian space
- 100 more “streets for kids”
- Focus on 0 pedestrian deaths #VisionZero
- Longer pedestrian cross times geared to seniors
