THE CLIMATE/MOBILITY/PLANET NEXUS? (And why we are not solving it . . . )
START HERE
Greetings:
What you have here is an independent web platform aimed at two somewhat different but related objectives. For starters . . .
v. 1.0 World Streets: The Politics of Transport in Cities (Since 2008).
In the first place, you have before you here the full content of World Streets as a collaborative independent “journal of record”, since March 2008 reporting on the winding, often tortuous but often too highly rewarding path toward sustainable transport in and around cities .
Mission: Creating and supporting open, generous, international peer networks to improve our city streets and public spaces for all.
To date: Offering as of early Spring 2019 more than two thousand articles and five thousand illustrative photographs, renderings and graphic image)
Contribution: Is World Streets doing its job? (We asked one hundred of our readers for their views.) And one hundred and one responded: CLICK HERE – http://bit.ly/2tmjZOI
Next Steps: Continue publication of World Streets in its current form, but to refocus its central function over the coming decade to the mobility/climate nexus.
