As cities shut down & businesses were forced to close or adapt in the pandemic, cars suddenly took a back seat. Streets became prime real estate for outdoor dining, exercise, and public transportation. So as the world opens up, environmental designer Kevin J. Krizek wonders -- how can we leverage this temporary solution to make our cities greener, safer, and more equitable long term? Kevin J. Krizek analyzes the design of cities and transport alternatives. His research was awarded a three year post as a visiting professor of “Cycling in Changing Urban Regions”(Radboud University, the Netherlands) and two Fulbright appointments (University of Bologna, Italy; EAFIT University, Medellin). He co-authored & edited four books, including Metropolitan Transport and Land Use & The End of Traffic and the Future of Transport. He spearheaded the forming of the World Society of Transport and Land Use Research. Together with his wife & 15-year-old son, he chases his dog around the Rocky Mountains. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at [ Ссылка ]
