    The "plazafication of New York" — closing a street to traffic and turning it into a pedestrian zone — was once a preposterous idea. 10 years later, it is part of the city fabric, and the idea has spread to cities all over the world.https://nyti.ms/2um61gC

        I believe the NYT has it backwards. There were numerous cities with pedestrian plazas long before NYC "popularized" it. A NYC-centric view of the world.

        Y’all may want to travel abroad before you claim NY invented something European cities had in large numbers since the 1970s. Ppl *walk* there you know.

        More like they have existed for millennia and the US is just catching on to the idea that streets are not just for cars. Crazy

        New York copies the European model and claims it invented it; not just China that steals IP

        Around the other way, other cities had this well before New York. Americans are funny.

        10 years...? We had them in Australia and suburbs much longer than that. This one in my area in 2007 was remodelled after so many years as a pedestrian mall.pic.twitter.com/vVrKiVF3Ew
