"The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art...Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind. With language itself, it remains humanity's greatest work of art."
—Lewis Mumford

According to @CityBits_Max, who reported this amazing success story, there are a few key reasons:

🏛 City leaders are all-in on cutting car usage
🚊Huge new investments in transit and cycling
🤝 Strong emphasis on better cooperation/integration between various transit players

[Infinite Block @InfiniteBlockHQ]

New newsletter: 10 years ago Jakarta 🇮🇩 was one of the worst polluted/congested cities in the world. Today it is on the come up as a transit-rich, bike-loving city of tomorrow ✨

How did this SE Asian megalopolis turn things around so quickly? Read on👇

[Michael Keating @mbkeating]

“[urbanization] has occurred so quickly that we have not yet had an institutional transition to a city-led political structure.” @asymco in this exciting new newsletter from the team behind @MicromobilityCo.

[Felicity M. Maxwell @cityjane]

Fantastic deep dive on the "mobility rich environment" approach of @culdesac & @OpticosDesign (yep, same one #CodeNext fans):

[really likes cities @CityBits_Max]

After a few months of yelling into the void with just my own newsletter, it's nice to know that someone else thinks I'm making sense.

Huge thanks to @InfiniteBlockHQ and @MicromobilityCo for believing in me and publishing this piece on @culdesac, and all of you for reading.

[Infinite Block @InfiniteBlockHQ]

Come for the first-rate analysis of how design can disrupt car dependency, stay for @CityBits_Max's white-hot meme warfare 🔥

[Infinite Block @InfiniteBlockHQ]

New newsletter just dropped. @CityBits_Max takes a long look at @culdesac's ambitions to build a car-free city from scratch, right in the traffic-clogged heart of the USA🏗️🌆

Is this post-car utopia an oasis or a mirage? (spoiler: we like their odds!)

[oliver bruce @oliverbruce]

Really excited to share this new project we’ve been working on.

Micromobility is connected to a lot more than transport - and we wanted to build something that reflected all the innovations that cities are enabling.

Thus: @InfiniteBlockHQ - new podcast dropping soon!

[david reeves @dreeves]

Cities need to be the political building block of the future, says @asymco
