Finished reading "Movement" by @tverka & @fietsprofessor. Extremely important and thought-provoking book. TLDR: Bike streets, Vision Zero, 30km/h, etc, are meaningless if we maintain the anti-human politics of "streets are for traffic flow".
My favorite insights: 🧵
The Marshall plan greatly helped rebuild Europe after WW2. But it also brought traffic engineering, preparing Europe for easier import of US products to boost the US economy, which made Europe more car-dependent.
