Divide and Conquer: How Car-Centric Cities Turn Allies Into Adversaries CRB'25 scholarship recipient Reena Mahajan argues: When people walking and cycling are pitted against each other, drivers get a free ride

🔬 We call walking, cycling & scooting micromobility.

NEW STARTER PACK! This time I’m hoping to encourage and support global urbanists from OUTSIDE North America here on Bluesky, so hopefully this will help! Who’ve I missed? Just joined? Let me know! I’ll keep updating, so please keep checking & sharing this pack! And let’s try using #GlobalUrbanists.

Graphic noting that people walking are called “vulnerable road users” as are people cycling. While “vehicles” are considered neutral and normal. But what if drivers were called “dangerous road users?”
