    I love the concept of this video but the execution missed for me. I got really confused by her sketches that we barely saw
    Give her different coloured pens, use colour coding for car lanes/pavements/bike lanes etc, use animation to show one on top of the other...
    Would love to see another video on this topic that really focused on what the changes were.

      I feel like she needed more _time_ as well to really highlight things and focus in on one area rather than the scatter gun approach of showing multiple situation. Although not sure if that was because of the video length not being enough time for her to go into detail, if she’s just so used to working at a professional speed with people familiar with what she means that she didn’t really slow down enough for the average person who don’t have as much experience in this sort of thing, or perhaps more likely a combination of both.
      There was both too much and not enough attention to detail here, even if it was obvious that she really knew what she was talking about.

      I feel it's also a matter of editing and cutting the video at weird points. She's pointing to things on the map and on her sketch while speaking about it, but then the camera suddenly cuts to a view of her face; so you can't see what she's talking about.

      @GhettoArabSage 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      It's easy. Everybody follows the rules. In nyc everybody is just towing their party's line. If you're a bicyclist you hate cars and won't call out a bicyclist who breaks the rules.
      In the Netherlands if you jaywalk other pedestrians, drivers and bicyclists will all call you out on it.

      As someone who drove trucks professionally and drive normally on my off time, I found these street designs confusing and sort of a hassle because you could no longer turn when you wanted to.

Pedestrian spaces are nice but also forces cars to take longer routes to go around them

    The 1940s was the beginning of bad urban planning in Canada and in the United States.

    I used to cross Cooper Union all the time. I remember the pre-2017 crossings. They were quite dangerous. I would avoid going down that way and cross Third Avenue way up by Astor Place. Now it's a delight to cross Cooper Union. I didn't realize this was the lady responsible for such a huge transformation. I was very pleased that that big two-lane road to the left/west was turned into a small road with one lane. Really improved the feel of the area.

City planners have to think about multiple factors and its really cool to see how over time we improve on the ideas of roads and architecture.

    It's becoming obvious that the push made by the auto industry in the early-mid 1900s to build more car-focused infrastructure had a lot of negative consequences for people. Namely, more focus on roads and more lanes for cars as opposed to more green spaces, parks, and areas friendly to pedestrians and cyclists.
    I'd love to see something as extreme as just entirely ripping up a fraction of the streets and avenues of NYC and replacing car lanes with parks, green spaces, and pedestrian/bicycle only areas. Cars should be second class citizens in densely populated cities -- they are loud, inefficient, pollute the air, and are dangerous to people. Taxis/Ubers and delivery trucks seem welcome and necessary, though. But the more we invest in green spaces and pedestrian and cycling areas, the more desirable these areas become to hang out in and the less people will want to drive in NYC anyway.

    What’s the point in making this a video if all the visuals are faint scribes on a piece of trace paper? Dear god. Do better

    Some third world countries have cities that were planned so badly in the past 25 years, it would take a miracle to solve them. They should get her help.

    Why do cars get this almost holy access to air? What is so special that makes a car be able to see the moon at night? It doesn't seem to be an issue running a street inside a building. It's done all the time in tunnels and parking garages. Leave the sky for pedestrians and move the roads into the buildings.

    If you would like a good channel for urban infrastructure design look up 'not just bikes'. It's great!!

    Some of these streets shes talking about need traffic control guards . Other wise they will never move. 👍🏻

    The visuals were very confusing. You talk about the streets like I live in NYC, when I have no idea what your talking about.

    Although I understand benefits of a great street, many urban planners straight up ignore supply and demand. Housing shortage in US is completely artificial due to strict regulations and crap like minimum setback. Read Order Without Design by Alain Bertaud, who explicitly explains the underlying economic drivers of cities, and not just base on normative values like "livability" and "sustainability".

    It’s weird to see street architect draw traffic direction the wrong way. Probably one of the issues with street redesign

  • @hilosky

    Others have already commented on the terrible editing in this like how we can't tell what the architect is talking about because of the camera angle.
    I'm more concerned with the rapidly flashing images that happen THREE SEPARATE TIMES in the beginning of the video. Please never do this again. It physically hurt to see and it served literally no purpose.

    can you guys normalize the audio? i have to turn it up to hear the architect and turn it down to hear the narrator at a reasonable volume. and why is this ancient woman using upsppeak?

    A lot of street designs are terrible these days! They seem to divert the problem and restrict accessibility as a solution. If 50 cars can be on a two way road fine, but when it increases to 70 there are issues. They change it to a one way road reduce lanes so only 30 cars can now go down that street and pat themselves on the back because they apparently have addressed the issue. That does not make for a "better" street.
