How COVID-19 reshaped our cities overnight | Kevin J. Krizek | TEDxMileHigh

As cities shut down & businesses were forced to close or adapt in the pandemic, cars suddenly took a back seat. Streets became prime real estate for outdoor dining, exercise, and public transportation. So as the world opens up, environmental designer Kevin J. Krizek wonders -- how can we leverage this temporary solution to make our cities greener, safer, and more equitable long term? Kevin J. Krizek analyzes the design of cities and transport alternatives. His research was awarded a three year post as a visiting professor of “Cycling in Changing Urban Regions”(Radboud University, the Netherlands) and two Fulbright appointments (University of Bologna, Italy; EAFIT University, Medellin). He co-authored & edited four books, including Metropolitan Transport and Land Use & The End of Traffic and the Future of Transport. He spearheaded the forming of the World Society of Transport and Land Use Research. Together with his wife & 15-year-old son, he chases his dog around the Rocky Mountains. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

You mean The Great Reset and the 4th Industrial Revolution? No thanks, I’m opting out.

[@michelleboyd604]

Because of the pandemic, we are all participating in a forced research project. So many innovations. Glad there’s something good coming out of this.

[@Eman_Puedama]

Oh yes, what a fortuitous happenstance.. yawn..

[@Jv212]

You are literally describing his video: "Dutch Cycling" by "BicycleDutch". I wish the whole world would adopt Cycling and Bikes for ecological, economic, living and health benefits.

[@EMPTYCUP111]

this would be awesome

[@bradleyfitzik2447]

I learned how to cook during the quarantine period. Thanks to the pandemic 😉

Denver’s Bike path / green belt was my favorite dating back to the 1980’s 👍🏻

This...talk...drove me..crazy. His speaking skills aren't up to par & I quickly found myself disinterested in the topic, even though it's one I normally would enjoy. When did the bar for TedTalk speakers get so low? BTW- he doesn't know anything about Seattle. Roads got closed down to cars for very different reasons than creating little bistros.

[@bitkahuna]

Yeah a bike in pittsburgh in winter is so much fun. :/

[@teguhestro5654]

since pandemic, I can hear sound of my daughter singing LET IT GO, and always said "Father, I Wannabe Elsha..."

The pandemic is teaching us how to live in the present moment. It's a grace to survive this pandemic and enjoy a new style of life.

[@cathyshao5580]

God has other plans for the ones that lost their lives during this tragedy. Life is precious at every moment.

[@aniruddhsali]

I've survived the pandemic so far. But I'm definitely not enjoying the life right now 😅 It's like I've got no life now 🥲

[@SaucerJess]

Austin, TX is refusing to build infrastructure for our neediest population. We can't get sidewalks in our areas, even with Project Connect 💙

[@loriallen67]

What a shame. Austin could be such a leader.

[@AW-zv3es]

Electric scooters are terrible because they are left EVERYWHERE. Security risks.

[@MRALAA-iw5cj]

Actually guys

[@bitkahuna]

Been to Austin recently buddy? Full of homeless tents. Ugh

[@michelleboyd604]

I wonder how this discovery will effect our health long term?

Buy a Tesla with fsd, charge at home with clean energy from solar panels

[@russellbranham4868]

Your ability to take family vacations would disappear, with the short range of the Tesla.

[@ZennExile]

remember when your little brother or sister would stand in front of the TV holding the controller but also doing the 'not yet mister' pose so they don't ruin their pants? I really wish they would have let him go, then come back and shoot it without what appears to be a NFL regulation ground hog on deck. Or just kept the camera north of the old navel...

[@sumisdailylifestyle8674]

Only the rich will be able to afford to drive a car soon, so they have to come up with better ways for the poor to get to work and back.
