Re:Route

歩行者や自転車中心の、都市に暮らすファミリーに重きをおいた新しい概念の移動手段を問う。都市が今日抱えている問題を一掃し、都市の車社会から脱却を目指す。

Description
What moves you? We need to enhance and revitalize our areas, changing them from a bunch of buildings into a community.
How can we move people, cars, services or goods through a neighborhood? Envision healthful, comfortable, pleasurable urban transit.
Change our current and failing models of transportation into something to benefit the families of urban communities. Imagine more pedestrian and bicycle-friendly streets and conceptualize new forms of public transit. We are seeking any and all ideas to reduce traffic and limit our reliance on polluting cars.
CONSIDER:
Ways that traversing a city might be made more enjoyable, whatever the weather
What the ideal transport would look like
What would happen if we made children more important than cars
What would motivate people to use less toxic transportation, instead of cars
