Katrina SickleHOST
So what's the most surprising thing you've learned about who benefits and who is left out when cities reallocate space?

Francesco PillaGUEST
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.

Francesco PillaGUEST
So we have like cities, mission cities like Lyon and Utrecht that share proven blueprints for tactical urbanism with fellow cities across Europe.

Francesco PillaGUEST
One of our early findings is that there is a lot of power in redesigning streets from a child perspective.

Francesco PillaGUEST
Cities like Warsaw and Lyon, for example, are transforming school surroundings into children's streets.

Francesco PillaGUEST
That allows us to bring the local community on board and basically turning these transit corridors into social roads.
