Vox 
[Advertiser Content From Seventh Generation]
The emergence of cars in the early 20th century transformed modern U.S. cities, leading to a substantial increase in global greenhouse gas emissions. Car-centric infrastructure, characterized by wide roads and highways, became dominant in urban landscapes. However, the cities of the future offer an opportunity for transformation. By taking inspiration from ancient cities, they can prioritize public transportation and foster human connection, resulting in reduced emissions and more accessibility. @gnd_network #ad

i love this kind of content. i have been avoiding buying a car for 2 years now and wish america had more walkability
The highway system has literally made people able to go practically anywhere they want in the country in a manner of days at most- what’s so bad about that?
Word.
3:13 how about – does the walk increase biodiversity or ecosystem function? we can't survive without functioning ecosystems, how sustainable is that really?
This is by far the best video Vox has ever made.
Why didn't you name this video "next generation of american cities" then we'd know not to watch
Why does Adrian sound like a 30 yo white woman?! 😳
Lots of big words but really not anything new. What are they proposing here?
A load of postmodernist nonsense.
Urbanism dub
So I'm quite involved in this issue and I'm happy Vox is getting involved. Because I think that American cities most of all, should focus on becoming walkable, bikeable by doing away with these terrible zoning laws and car centered building rules.
However, I don't think the strange focus on racism and diversity here is very helpful. America is car centered because of a powerful car lobby, racism has nothing to do with it. Rebuilding cities to be human focused again would be good for everyone in the city and it's in my opinion distracting and needlessly polarising to make that about diversity.
so, how?
tons of empty rosy words
and visuals
without any specific actionable plan
This is why i find it so odd with the opposition to 15 minute cities. People have watched too much hunger games, no one is locked into their district. You can leave freely, it just means you can get to where you need to be in 15 minutes
15 minutes cities are not for me. I like vast open spaces instead of being cramped.
"images from oldest cities from around the World" , puts Quebec from 1608 ….
The experience of moving around an American city like Los Angeles and Houston is completely different, and we have some sad to say, that almost every European city I’ve been to. and yea, we have all the things you have its simplest laid out differently
I can't express how happy I am that this movement is taking off, even in the United States.
They didn't build cities for the cars, they bulldozed cities for cars.
All part of the WEF and WHO using climate as a Template to lock you down … total scam
Yeah… And I guess USA will also never take responsibility from force feeding this urbanist monstrosities into South America. Thanks for this awful culture.
hiiii
I’m from Indonesia, and the plan to make a new capital doesn’t really suit my taste, especially with the removal of rainforests in Borneo, where the new capital is planned to be built. Nonetheless, the President’s proposal that the city will run on green energy still intrigues me, and I’m looking forward to see how the new capital really runs.
I agree that most European cities are much more beautiful and tight knit but I would add that A) most of those cities are way older and B) America is just so big and land more available at the time of building these places.
late night thought, why don’t cities just build little bridges where crosswalks are? that can help a bit
Instead of pressuring big companies into making them more sustainable and not sell everything in plastic. Sad thing we as society have to pay for the millionaire's expenses
Nothing mentions public safety , people will move to suburbs if a city is unlivable.
Parking lots. Parking lots. Parking lots. Parking lots. Oh, and parking lots!
