I’ve been obsessed with public streets as people friendly as opposed to car friendly for years (since a visit to Amsterdam) and endeavor to live in the most pedestrian friendly cities and neighborhoods I can afford. Brent Toderian, a Canadian urban planner, has done some really good scholarship on the issue as well as showing practical success (especially in Vancouver), and was recently contracted to help the city of Limerick, Ireland become a more walkable space. I am interested in seeing how Coronavirus affects these types of efforts.
