Why urbanism matters
Giving equity and access to all
Who has access to our communities? If we only prioritize building communities for the driving population, then we are excluding those who cannot afford to drive or have the physical ability to drive.
Safety and Livability
Urban design and infrastructure that facilitates and encourages high vehicle speeds is unsafe for everyone, including drivers. We need streets that protect vulnerable users and slow traffic to safer levels to allow people to exist in our communities.
