Today in class everyone did their presentations on their particular chapter from the book, "Plan B 4.0." It was interesting to see the whole class's perspective of the chapters that I have already read and compare to what they got out of the chapter. My group and I presented on Chapter 6, Redesigning Urban Transport. This chapter was really interesting to me! After a certain point, as automobiles begin to multiply, they provide not mobility but immobility. Automobiles also pollute the air that we breathe. However, as this chapter describes, their are ways to solve this problem by redesigning urban transport systems. Urban transport systems all include busses, railroads, bicycle paths, and pedestrian walkways. By using these urban transport system it can not only help with the overpopulation of the street but also by using these systems we can prevent dozens of casualties too. The chapter also talked about using urban gardening to help redesign the city for people and not cars. By gardening more it will help the you and the community and also it can help to make vacant parking lots a beautiful garden! These changes are very realistic and it will potentially save the environment and helping yourself in the process.
