Crossing against the flow

Just thought you might be interested in reading this short article about the difficulty pedestrians have in many places - this article focuses particularly on Florida - in getting from Point A to Point B in cities designed around the car.  It ties in with the book that I’m reading at the moment, Anthony Flint’s “Wrestling with Moses”.  You know, I’m not explicitly an urban planner - my interest lies primarily in parks/open spaces/wilderness, both in the city and out of it - but it’s hard not to get caught up in puzzling over what makes liveable, workable cities tick.  And it really is a puzzle - thousands of little pieces.  Some work in one setting, others work in another, but hopefully there is an underlying logic, themes that can be adapted to each setting, so long as we stay observant and keep questioning processes and results.
