Re: "Seven Sustainable Mayors": Profiles of Courage
I keep hearing about remarkable changes in Seoul, Korea. Since the late
1990s there has been a remarkable increase in official attention to
pedestrians and cyclists, much more bus priority (to complement subway
expansions), parking restraint has been applied vigorously, and
congestion charging was introduced on two major routes. And perhaps most
amazing - an inner city elevated expressway was torn down and the buried
stream beneath it has been brought back to the surface as a linear park.
Now we hear about a new round of attempts to make public transport more
integrated and have higher on-road priority.
So three questions:
- Where can we get more information on these changes? (Can anyone
elaborate on the story? Maybe my impressions are not accurate? Can
anyone point us towards a good written summary of these events and how
they have come about?)
- What triggered the changes in policy?
- Which particular individuals ('Mayors' or otherwise) or organisations
deserve recognition for these changes? (perhaps via Eric's "Profiles of
Courage")
All the best,
Paul
