I was surprised that even here in Portland, OR…not far from downtown…I was on my bicycle and pulled into a small shopping center. I guess you could call it a strip mall, but it was pretty small and completely surrounded by small residential streets....

I genuinely believe that car owners could be tricked into supporting FuckCars policies by a very crafty politician/campaign. It would work like this:...

We all know America has a massive problem with sprawl and mandatory parking minimums, however there does seem to be a trend of easing these arbitrary minimums. With that said, we still have massive parking lots with nothing happening....

If you ever find yourself tempted to buy a truck and/or SUV, just remember one thing: they’re not worth it. They’re a societal nuisance. They’re a massive pollutant. The maintenance, repair, and insurance will cost you a whole lot more. Aside from the aforementioned pollution, They’re overall environmental impact is...

Just came across this article about a book titled:...

In Poland, there is a “built-up area” road sign (obszar zabudowany)....

Firstly, I’m aware that my question gives the impression that I hold anti-urbaninst views but that’s not the case. If such a measure were to be implemented I would fully support it. I’m merely curious as to what would happen to emergency services if a total ban on personal, motorized vehicles was enacted. I’m especially...

I’m new to advocating for urban planning so I don’t know where to start. I know can attend city hall meetings and even email the mayor but I feel like those aren’t effective solutions. Any advice? Thanks.

Today was my first day seriously going car free and despite some literal roadblocks ahead I think it’s doable. Any tips taking this further? Thanks in advance.

All three of these channels have mentioned in their videos that car companies lobbied governments and pressured urban planners to create infrastructure...
