not cars; the culture of the Vélib bicycle
program in Paris, allowing Parisians clean, efficient transport along
with a blooming bike subculture; an investigation of the distance
traveled by food as it makes its way from the field to our homes, and
the positive impact of investing in local food systems; Seoul’s
restoration of the ancient Cheonggyecheon stream in its city center,
revitalizing the economy as well as environment; the wisdom of Portland’s
city planners which transformed it into a global model of
