Whenever they tell you a change is impossible, show them Utrecht.
An urban freeway with many lanes can become a green park with a beautiful canal. Instead of a car sewer, the water flows.

What will happen if we’ll RETHINK our street corners?
We'll realize that until now, we've made them too car-centric. Street corners are designed for fast driving, which means pedestrians have to risk their safety just to cross the street.

I hear often people wanting to leave the city because it's not green enough. Or because it's too noisy and dirty.
But the solution isn't leaving the city. The solution is getting rid of the cause of the problem: too much space is given to cars.
