Our values & priorities are revealed in thousands of small but important details in our city design, deliberate decisions that have prioritized cars over people for decades. It will take equally deliberate decisions to change to cities for people. HT Dutch cartoon by Verwey, 1980

Drivers having to push “beg buttons” to have the lights change, rather than pedestrians.
