Here are two reminders from my bike commute today that, despite all the recent high profile hand wringing in the NZ media about e-scooters, these are not the big reason why the streets of our cities are dangerous.

Of course it's all the cars.

It's a choice that we design our cities like this.

Cookie cutter developments lack character and are an inefficient use of land.

"By thinking beyond immediate needs and designing with adaptability in mind, we can build communities that are not just functional today but that continue to evolve and thrive for generations to come. The key lies in recognizing the value of every nook and cranny and ensuring that no space is wasted."
