Description:
just read about Vauban, Germany (near Freiburg) on the bikeportland blog, what an inspiration.
Jonathan quotes the following from the Christian Science Monitor:
“Vauban has put into practice many ideas that were once dismissed as eco-fantasy but which are now moving to the center of public policy.”
“As a result, the car-ownership rate in Vauban is only 150 per 1,000 inhabitants, compared with 430 per 1,000 inhabitants in Freiburg proper. In contrast, the US average is 640 household vehicles per 1,000 residents.”
