It’d be nice to see these ideas implemented as a broad ideology.

Attend every public consultation that your municipality makes available when it comes to new projects and development. It often only takes a few people to make or break certain plans (good or bad ones).

Where i live we are moving further and further away from public transportation infrastructure.

North America? Some cities seem to be moving forward (i.e. San Francisco), while others are going way backward (i.e. Toronto).

In Montreal, Quebec, they are making huge progress in the same way that France has. De-growing certain roads, and giving them back to the communities. It's incredible to see!

Hopefully, as some cities adopt more people-centric design, it catches on. And it has to, because cities that keep pushing car dependency will bankrupt themselves.
