Mayor of major cities in America need to embrace who cities are for. Not what the suburbs want cities to be. Cities are for people not for cars.

Barcelona has been removing cars from key locations in neighbourhoods and turning them into green spaces. People living nearby have reported better rest, increased socialization and less noise and air pollution. Any city can do this - make streets quieter, safer, more liveable.

AI generated renderings have incredible potential to communicate pleasant, walkable urbanism to the masses. For example, I used an AI to imagine what a mixed-use, walkable neighborhood in ATX would look like… It’s so much more tangible than abstract concepts like 15min cities!
