“ #AncientRome was a #city of immigrants,” writes historian Ryan R. Abrecht, “a pre-modern metropolis of perhaps a million people at its height, most of them #immigrants or the descendants of immigrants.”

Ce sont nos structures qui sont pathologiques.
C'est à elles de s'adapter à l'humain et non l'inverse. Vouloir faire rentrer tout le monde dans l'unique case reconnue n'est pas sain.
Laisser le vivant entre les neurones rigides et stériles des bureaucrates est une mise à mort de tout le potentiel de ce vivant.
La diversité, l'imprévisible, le créatif, c'est la vraie richesse qui permet de vivre et de dépasser les obstacles.#photography #streetphotography #politics #city #life #words

It is probably about car dependency, car-centered areas. Like in the US where in many towns without a car one would struggle to do anything: getting to the grocery store, getting back from the store, reaching the other river bank as many bridges are motor vehicles only.People can’t live without cars in such places. Even food banks have huge lines of cars, four "lanes". Some homeless people drive cars as well. Imagine the closest grocery store being 1 hour walking distance away, and the weather may be extremely hot/cold.
Many such areas don’t even have sidewalks or anything for walking at all. At the same time so called "jay-walking" is prohibited by law. The term "jaywalking" actually was invented by the cars lobby in the early 20th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaywalking
Moving around by walking is extremely inconvenient, dangerous, taking ridiculous amounts of time, basically incompatible with everyday activities.Also the parking lots, roads, intersections take up huge chunks of the city. Consider how much longer it takes to walk somewhere compared to what it could be without all these. Urban areas could look very different if they were human-centered and Points Of Interest were packed tightly.
And the bigger the city, the more space car infrastructure takes up. More lanes, wider intersections, parking lots can have up to many thousands spots, highways, freeways, interchanges of ridiculous sizes and shapes.
The topic is huge, what I mentioned is just the tip. Think of what you see around every day. Also all the noise. And danger it brings to everyone, not just drivers. The number of so called "accidents", another convenient term for the horrible things that happen everyday.
The areas which are pedestrian-friendly, bicycle friendly, have public transportation tend to have happier residents, more attraction points, more small businesses, more street life, way better air quality, less noise among other benefits.
Also social connections and interaction happen there and not on a 4-lane highway.#Cars #Car #City #Urban #Streets

Well, at that moment, in that place, it sure seemed to.

It hits harder, doesn't it? To know that now are the last days before the nights get truly long, dark, and cold...at least in parts of the world where shops like this just feel like part of the landscape. Taken in Seattle one summer's night, "Last Call at Starbucks".
