Wrf are our actual plans to stop global warming . Electric cars? 🤣🌈🌈

Not only global warming issues are important. But their sources, inefficient cities(One of them) (big one)

We should focus on maximizing every block placed, before of building 100,000 more. Why cities keep expanding if their current zones are inefficient. Why some cities achieve more with less?

Lets initially focus on mobility. This is an essential aspect of a city, as everyone is directly affected by this.

Efficient mobility is directly correlated to the efficiency of a city.

How can we make mobility efficient?

The people’s favorite, cars, are not showing good numbers in terms of efficiency. Mostly due to the excessive cost of its infrastructure and maintenance as well as the consequences of this type of urban design.

So, keep this recipe and in about 200 years your delicious toasty earth will be doomed.

Next favorite, Public Transport (PT) (in the Netherlands and some asían cities.) YES! 🙌 THIS IS THE SOLUTION. Well, actually no. But it’s definitely the right direction.

Relying in PT is actually quite frustrating in some occasions. Although possible for day to day transit routines. PT cannot satisfy all mobility demand at the speed personal mobility can. In multiple occasions, cars, electric bike or electric motorcycles can be much faster than PT. Therefore the consumer will use the fastest way depending on the occasion. (We will call this term FAST WAY, thanks, I know its a good name😊)

Effective PT allows a much more dense and efficient development. Due for instance to no parking space required and much more transit volume capacity in the same space.

To cover the demand of FAST WAY (usually small distances), the fastest option would be electric motorcycles and sharing services like goshare. This could also serve as a way of reaching your home if its far from the train/metro station or bus stop.

Combining an efficient PT for medium-long distance traveling with electric motorcycles for shorter distances, will allow much more dense and efficient development, reducing the use of cars mostly to emergencies. ( because on the day to day PT is the fastest way to move)

This will also engage people to go out their homes to a quieter and safer street, bringing more economic activity and making them happier (if that’s important).

At the end the question might not only be how to make cities efficient, but there might be more aspects to consider. Such as, how can we reduce the daily distance travelled by people. Literally build shops below his apartment so he moves couple meters, instead of going to the mall🤙🏼 adding unnecessary traffic. There is the problem people!
