When it comes to improvements to your town or city or even country, it can often feel like you are powerless in the world. But you’re not alone. A city is made of communities and communities are made of individual people.
One day our kids or our kids kids, or their kids, will be able to safely just walk to school. And it starts with finding your community, finding out what works from people all over the world, and then maybe introducing the ideas to your neighbours or voting for city/town council members who align with your goals.
I just wanted to drop a more hopeful message rather than news or information.
I grew up in one of those and have moved in the past couple of years to a place that is ever so slightly better but not by much. Currently it’s a suburban sprawl dominated by single level strip malls surrounded by asphalt moats. It can be tough out there!
