North America Will Never Be the Netherlands - Interview with Not Just Bikes

A lot of people get into advocacy for better cities and urbanism by watching what’s perhaps YouTube’s biggest urbanism channel,  @NotJustBikes . But that leads many to think that with enough advocacy, their hometowns could one day also look like a city in the Netherlands. Not Just Bikes’ Jason Slaughter says it’s not that simple.In this conversation, journalist Cara Stern and economist Mike Moffatt talk to Jason about what North American cities can learn from the Netherlands. They explore the principles of Dutch urban design, the importance of context in urban planning, and the need for holistic approaches that go beyond just implementing bike lanes. Links:Why Canadians Can't Bike in the Winter (but Finnish people can):https://youtu.be/Uhx-26GfCBU?si=uB-fSJYD0ouxDHivStrong Towns:https://www.strongtowns.org/Guest: Jason Slaughter, Not Just Bikes https://www.youtube.com/c/notjustbikesHosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina MaddeauxProduced by Meredith MartinFunded by the Neptis Foundation https://neptis.org/
