"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.

The Goodwin Curve, a graph of public support for traffic reduction measures over time.

Initially, support grows until there is enough for the plan to proceed. As details emerge, support falls away. Immediately before implementation, there is panic. Then, over time, support builds to higher than ever before as people experience the benefits.

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.

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!
