RE: Engineering the Infrastructure - City Planning Basic Education
Fantastic article, @alexdory!
If you haven't read it already, I highly recommend Seeing Like A State, by James C. Scott. Among other things, it heavily covers the history of how our cities went from being pedestrian friendly to the abominations they are now- much of which is likely familiar to you already, but you might get something good out of it.
No I didn't read it and yes, I will.
This is one of the roots of the problems we have globally, i don't know what else to do to tackle it, as I have said before, we probably need to get involved in the political mess. They clearly don't have good people to tackle these problems.
Maybe not even get involved in the political scene (I hate it), but be advisers or councilmen or work in a council commission. Long talk there :)
Thanks for the reading tip!
