Vision Zero, Sweden’s road traffic safety project started in 1997 to “achieve a roadway system with no fatalities or serious injuries involving road traffic”.

Not just bikes: How self-driving cars will destroy cities, and what to do about it. Aside the projections (that are risky and debatable), here are two highlights:

1. [43:28] The comparison between the post-90s evolution of London, Ontario & Utrecht, Netherlands is striking (and nice job researching historical changes & photos): two cities similar both in size, and in how disfigured they were after the mid-20^th century car boom... but how they took opposite paths, with night-and-day results three decades later. A good case to counter the usual “North America is different” narrative: European cities were scarred just as much! Examples like Utrecht prove that healing these wounds is possible and was done.
2. [34:26] The case of Bamberg, North Carolina, whose city council thought it was helping downtown business by prioritizing cars in its Main Street.
