    Literally a city and society on a way smaller scale and full of able-people to get around.

    Still a fucking nightmare for this that can’t.

    I love this video shows a couple wheelchair folks moving around the city along bikers. Great.

    Utrecht is 350k people. New York metro is 19.5 MILLION people, and LA is like 18.5 MILLION.

    Making tiny cities more accessible to certain groups only works at a certain scale. Anyone telling you “you need to do this to make your community better” is only half right.

      So those megalopolises need to be redeveloped to have it’s district function as tiny cities inside the big city? So no hyper specialised zones?

        They aren’t “Megalopolis” sized cities at all. This doesn’t scale.

        It’s nice for smaller cities, absolutely.

        Will not scale to LA, NYC, Tokyo, London, Beijing…run down the list.
