A Bridge, 4mph and The Italian Job

Or, what the Finns can teach us about designing successful new towns

“There are features I think are important like variation, like roads that aren’t all straight so you get a natural variation in the road” – Keir Starmer

What do we want our towns and cities to be:

  • Places where walking, cycling and public transport are the natural choices?
  • Or places where driving remains the norm, cars are too big for standard parking spaces and the increasing incidence of potholes and fatalities due to the increased weight of cars is ‘just one of those things’?
