Better future | Bogota experiment
Bardócz landscape architect Alexander again reported an experiment in urban architecture forum at which lessons go far beyond the city and the simple virtue of any big city could follow the good example.
In six years, Colombia Bogotá Mayor Enrique Peñalosa as managing itself meant a drastic step, which was not much chance. Has banned cars from the city center and pioneered a new way of life:
Peñalosa (who grew up in Washington, DC), urban congestion and air pollution due to amazing levels to chose a radical, draconian rigor leads to the motor transport. Namely a situation where the city has no money, no strategy has been to the city how to remove the worst quality of life in Latin America from providing status. "I've never seen a city that its residents have so much hate" - quotes the mayor of those times. As he puts the change: "We had to learn a new lifestyle."
This life style is the "bread and whip" method began to be introduced in the gritty innovative, which resulted in the cars and the parking ban in the city center, the TransMilenio, called the city across a fast bus network (low line), or a number of walking and cycling " highways, "Development of libraries and schools, and has far more than just sidewalks and green space network system for the progressive establishment.

Bardócz, Bogota, bicycle, a brighter future ...
I woke up without coffee! This film! My face is there that we have a "3"-th country in what the mayor is not imaginary. The left, but a reality! Can you imagine that we could do this one? The Hungarians 1-2 exceptions, know the term community of interest? A series of battles in the cities of downtown renovation, cars kitiltása.De watch out, the horse is on the other side! Delicate balance, somewhere just tip out a lot, or less! The strict laws, strict enforcement is heard!! This is also our little-known concept! What I saw was so beautiful, and I'm so sorry that we have the perpetual conflict, politicization of everything good in many an obstacle! I am confident that he saw yours.
We regard ourselves as highly, and for what? Rubbish is a cultural capital projects can not be organized because politics overrides everything ..
.
such an experiment Bogáti only a "dictator" Strong moral strength and our people are able to orchestrate a broad-based.
.
Which would you let your dictator, we take a situation like this?
A bit off all military lombozzak.
Such is the problem I do, that only comes to the point that we forbid (cars out of downtown), but the alternative is (how do we travel) is somehow lost in the fog.
I would call your attention to the following:
- When routing software I use, in many cases they will be returned to the ring road, or worse, the Deak square. Think about why.
- M0?
- If you want to put my car, to me?
- Quality of public transport? (To avoid confusion: the frequency and coverage is good, orcs, and the lease purchase of the ticket system is bad)
- Budapest, positioning, special construction, not sure that what was good here in Bogotá will be good
- The climate is not always conducive to biking, so it is a very different solution can be
- Community transport? Here is a region but not city.
So long as there is no solution, while the car is logical that people choose.
Silly Pest climate is always good to ride, now (snow), it also runs with the remark that the bike paths at all hómentesíti yet. It is also true that long ago escaped the multi-lane roads are safer.
Otherwise, IMHO, the country is too stupid for such a transition type of Bogota. Not only the "solid moral foundations" of politicians, but all 10 million citizens.
Arpad: They start with the troubles that you want to put the car into which you have never had to sit down.
Do not you understand! Quality public transport have been established! Satelittel verified idle-free, cultured. If it was, came to the roads and sidewalks. We'd be ahead, járdából more than one. I thought this when the other side of Cs írtam.Csak you need to ban cars if you have created for motorists as well as involve them your way. Is not they halved the roads, "low-Metro" section, along with green buses. Metron is a kettő.Ennyivel could work less. The proportions are obviously different from the needs, but exemplary, unbelievable! Is there any man who could do us? Where is?
What sex should I change a little bit more optimistic tone, hopefully this will be a symbol of Budapest following:
I had to I would love if it's not Újlipótváros parkolnának the cars so that the pavement is about 20 cm and left for pedestrians. Sometimes the most frightening to the small car park with it, because if one station wagon, then at least I can see the meaning, but it ...
Budapest you should start to be removed in 45-degree parking.
Otherwise, who would often say, "that if there would be a good public transport", they are usually looking for excuses and this is the easiest lubricated. Public Transport I think price / service ratio is very good performance.
think of any positive examples in Bratislava since the path was closed, many people like to walk around here, and when one sits out the many cafes, restaurants, you will not drown in one of the cursor from the car.
Well is not it! But make no mistake! I'm not anti-GK, but the city is not used szűköcske parts of the system. Of course, the habits should be changed for the first time! But!! There was air day, gk-free day, day of cycling, and SMOG alert! Do you remember what was the outcome? Overwhelming! But if we ask people to believe the Hungarians certainly smarter than the bogotaiaknál.Ahogy we are immune to the crisis, not / want to / seen in the bud, so we are with everything. Selfishly only for your convenience, the possibilities are important! Unfortunately!
Budapest's streets, in which restricted the circulation of cars, they have undergone qualitative changes.
By now a lot of examples.
.
The same would be way too Rákóczi. 2 × a track car, tram and 2 x 25 m wide sidewalk, a lot of trees
Ilya is so good it would be a walking downtown on pavement most of the big city, especially in Budapest, is simply no such place, except a street in Prague, why the situation is much better? same and the situation is like at home, waiting for a bridge-center in both places ...
yeah they have missed the streets that they have to establish here, not as a coherent system are designed and thought through, but here's a street, there is a street, Vaci, ORGANIZATION, King etc. are all separate, from which the lessons! car to go to the váciutcába that we can walk one :)
Budapest.
The Danube shore, covered on both sides of 2 × 2-lane highway. Electrical zöldsíneken surface.
Small and large boulevard building parking garages, reduced 2 × 2 electric zöldsíneken middle lane. The city is organized in radial traffic
Dear U.Imre! I totally agree, I do not think that would change the very views, but I guess I had been debating about this one. Yet, a large air, and started a debate is not made, because there will always be one who says no! This is the problem here. Well we need to think about, and uzsgyi!
Ger82 has a very pedestrian car must go! JÓÓÓ.
This is the Normafa imply the blue line as well. I saw the Alps villages where there is no car! Resolved, and full season all hotel space! How is it done?
The road does not own kótfőből Danube springs in 1976 plans have already seen it. The concrete road construction created. On the tram underground and above would have had a large green area. I would leave the villa is now maintained as a weakness in the subject field. (These model railway) It is once you realize that there are other colors besides yellow too!
The tour is a less value than those in a building phase, strictly street street could be split off. Hejére high, tower may build a house (like skyscrapers) a lot of green space, underground parking.
I am writing again, because now I read the article Lillafüred and this, together at a beautiful promise. That was during the Great Depression? Large investments to be, even if temporarily the negative budget.Kérem Yours! Very quickly átgurítani existing implementation plans, to speed up the authorization, and immediately, while you are unemployed, who will be happy to work. Thus was the world, and everyone was watching. So imagine, but I did not do so. Do you think it would be possible? Large state and non-government, but supported a multitude of investment? It will be in the country, there will be many unemployed. Oh be nice .......
