Let’s talk about urban planning. Urban design can be a force for good when wielded well and can have the opposite effect when bent by speculation and dark interests. Traffic calming and reduction schemes often meet opposition despite proof that they offer health benefits. The same happens with plans to redevelop green public spaces with the enthusiasm of some local councils to fell mature trees for their perceived danger and replace them with hostile concrete and ‘lolipop’ trees.
15 minute cities are a good idea on paper however there are serious concerns related to autocratic control of the population and a loss of liberty to travel.
What planning improvements would you like to see to improve the urban environment where you live?
