Helmut Holzapfel: Urbanism and Transport (Routledge, 2015)
“Large areas in cities could soon function successfully without automobiles”• Each new pedestrian crossing a street, each
tree growing where a car was once parked, each place where children can once again play safely on a city street is important
• Mind-sets matter• Let’s start buttering the parsnips

Words are but wind that do from men proceed;None but Chamelions on bare Air can feed;Great men large hopeful promises may utter;But words did never Fish or Parsnips butter..
