Not trying to be the wowser I just think that we need to make the whole city good, because at the moment Melbourne really is a tale of two cities.

Sadly, I may have to settle for living vicariously through Clarence. First it was Bogota, then Melbourne. Where is my next virtual vacation to Streetfilms? And one more thing: Goblin(Comment #1) - Fortunately New York is moving in the right direction. NYC's biking infrastructure is improving in the five boroughs and more space is being taken back from cars to create public spaces. NYC already has a good walking culture and as the streets become more pedestrian friendly more people will walk and enjoy all the city has to offer on foot. It took a long time for Melbourne to become the Melbourne portrayed in this video. I for one and going to stick around and see just how fabulous NYC can become. The DOT's current efforts and Jan Gehl's words "if you are willing to give people the space they need, then you can have a complete change of behavior" give me hope that NYC will live up to its potential.
