So what's the most surprising thing you've learned about who benefits and who is left out when cities reallocate space?
3:09
As you said at the beginning, we are using a twinning model where basically we are pairing cities and they are learning how to redefine urban mobility from each other.
3:19
So we have like cities, mission cities like Lyon and Utrecht that share proven blueprints for tactical urbanism with fellow cities across Europe.
3:28
One of our early findings is that there is a lot of power in redesigning streets from a child perspective.
3:36
Cities like Warsaw and Lyon, for example, are transforming school surroundings into children's streets.
3:42
That allows us to bring the local community on board and basically turning these transit corridors into social roads.
3:50
Well, we are also keeping a strong eye on social accessibility.
