It was great hearing about climate risks and governance from @chrisjparker.bsky.social on @climatechat.bsky.social So much to think about and lots on the pros and cons of SRM.

No New Yorker should lose their life just trying to get around our city. We refuse to accept preventable tragedy as an inevitable part of living in New York.  That's why we’ve announced more than 100 policies to make our streets safer over the next 10 years.

Awesome new paper by @ashtonindc.bsky.social unpacking ideas about "what—and who—our streets are for" that are behind car supremacy. By analyzing what people say at public meetings, this paper makes the case that individuals are upholding car supremacy and stymieing efforts to build safe streets.
"Car supremacy: Deconstructing the ideology driving our modal hierarchy" by Ashton Rohmer.

Abstract: Cars have shaped modern life in profound ways, from restructuring our built environment to altering our notions of success. They have also had a variety of negative impacts—neighborhood destruction, resource wars, ill health, and environmental damage to name a few—which are largely normalized in our collective psyches. Existing theories of the rise of the automobile are focused on macro-forces such as a globalizing political economy; while important, these fail to explain how local transportation policy has been leveraged by members of the general public to perpetuate an unjust system of automobility. This article argues that our existing beliefs about who has a right to exist in our public rights of way are socially constructed through an ideology of car supremacy. This ideology is used by private citizens in public meetings to prevent our streets from being safe, accessible, and equitable for all road users. Using existing literature and a critical discourse analysis of empirical data gathered from local public meetings, this article defines the core convictions of the ideology of car supremacy—moto monoculture, auto impunity, and modal marginalization—and demonstrates how individuals enact it in public discourse through three rhetorical devices—static scarcity, blame inversion, and nefarious minority—to create a modal hierarchy that marginalizes non-car users. Moreover, this article suggests how urban planners and policy makers can cultivate civic engagement practices that curtail the harmful system of power perpetuated by the ideology of car supremacy.

Oudezijds Voorburgwal, Amsterdam in 1980 and today
A before-and-after comparison of Oudezijds Voorburgwal, Amsterdam. The top image, in black and white and dating from 1980, shows an open cobblestone square used as an informal car park in front of a large bare brick wall with scaffolding. The bottom colour image shows the same location today: the car park has been transformed into a lively pedestrianised square with outdoor café seating filled with people, young trees, ornate street lamps, and decorative tiles mounted on the now-restored brick wall. A cyclist passes on the left.

It doesn’t need to be complicated. Give buses their own space and signals, and keep families on bikes or scooters separate. Safer for them, and buses can keep to schedule.

1969 shows cars parked on the side of a narrow road with a very wide footway to the left of the roadway. Today the wide footway has largely been replaced by private gardens. The road is paved and narrow, with only bike parking, no car parking. Two people cycle on the road
