Exploring the Past to Reimagine the Future
Urban landscapes bear the imprint of time, the echo of past decisions and designs. To create a city for the future, we must first understand how it was shaped. This chapter guides us through this urban patchwork, drawing inspiration from the past to forge the urban landscapes of tomorrow. Amsterdam is now considered one of the world's most peaceful cities in terms of mobility, with an impressively dense concentration of bicycle traffic. It is important to emphasize that even if cycling is gaining in popularity worldwide, we need to go beyond a desire for peaceful mobility to re‐establish a real quality of life in our towns and cities. It's about rethinking our cities so that they offer local services, promoting communication and connectivity between residents. The real revolution lies in the creation of a city of proximity, a city where everything we need is available at short distances.
