@@mapgar1479 respectfully no ❤️ High speed rail shouldn’t be reserved for specific routes but instead be open for any route. This means that there is more choice. For example, a company or government may decide to build HSR on a busy route such as from the city centre to the airport if they know there is a high demand and it will be economically and socially viable to do so. It shouldn’t be reserved for specific types of journeys, but I think that companies and governments should be able to choose when and where it is viable to build it (would usually be longer journeys such as across the country or across states etc)

I hope that American politicians and city planners are taking heed. The Danish and the Dutch have it right!

No way. As an urban planner myself I will use the Vancouver model. We should only focus ob road diets complete streets and highways to boulevards projects not congestion pricing and banning cars from cities. The CNU Charter states that in a contemporary metropolis all new development must atequately acvomodate automobiles and Congestion Pricing does not atequately accomodate automobiles.

Thank you for the enjoyable, informative, and well-executed film!

FYI this is socislist party propaganda. These urban planners need to leave the Roman Catholic Holyland of Europe and go back to China. You are'nt European unless you are a traditionalist Catholic that attends the Holy Trentitine Mass.

I went to Stockholm in 2001 and thought it was great back then. Looks like they've been doing a LOT in recent years. I shall have to go back and check it out!

It's very cute to watch. Many of the things shown in this video have been part of dutch culture for decades. Those sensors that track cyclists across intersections can be found across the entirety of the Netherlands. Traffic flows where you physically separate cyclists from cars have been around for generations too. Introduction of parks and pedestrianized area's where streets used to be have been in effect so long that you often can't tell anymore that it wasn't always this way. It's all about hating cars, and getting people out of them. Congestion pricing however is a nice new development. It be even better if emission pricing was part of that too, to encourage electric traffic.

We here in Stockholm do look towards the Netherlands and Copenhagen for inspiration and to show the local politicians and bureaucrats how to do things right. There are standards already developed over decades of real world experience, so no we do not have to investigate and explore a thousand design options to understand how this all works: just get the Dutch manual and all will be revealed.

8:40 I'd call it Norrström and call the sluice at the other end of the Old Town "Slussen" ;) Right now there's a few very very annoying streets works going on that makes biking to work a hassle for me. One is Slussen (which isn't planned to be all that great for bikes), another is the urban redevelopment at Årstaberg (commuter rail - LRT interchange just outside the inner city, old light industrial area turning into dense residential neighbourhood), and the last being that they have to block of a vital bike infra link at the other end of the bridge you can see at 6:55 in roder to widen the shared used path from like 2.5 meters to 4.5 iirc.)

Hey, I'm unsubscribing. Not because I dislike your videos. Because I live in the Southern United States and know that I will never get to live in a walkable, livable city & seeing your videos makes me sad. Good luck everyone I hope you get to live in a nice place. I currently step over trash & homeless & almost get hit by cars everyday when I walk across the street.

Is it just me or is NYC missing a REAL game plan for improving lower Manhattan when the congestion pricing gets implemented? Maybe part of the problem is that improving the common space isn’t a priority and won’t direct any funds to it, instead directing all the funds to transit?
