1. Het Recht Van De Snelste
Hoe ons verkeer steeds asocialer werd
In this insightful exploration of urban mobility, the narrative delves into the intricate dynamics of city infrastructure and the prioritization of speed over safety and accessibility. The book critically examines how modern transportation systems often favor the fastest modes of travel, such as cars, at the expense of pedestrians and cyclists, leading to a myriad of societal and environmental challenges. Through a blend of personal anecdotes, expert interviews, and data-driven analysis, it advocates for a more equitable and sustainable approach to urban planning that considers the needs of all city dwellers.
