The Blog introduces the reader to the general problem of pedestrian safety and the rapid invasion of the motorcar in urban areas.
Briefly mentions the consequences on daily life of the the modernist approach of separating pedestrian and vehicles in cities.
Outline current concerns on the subject of road safety and underline successful approaches and their limits.
Highlight the major findings on the ways in which design can help the urban streets to be reconquered as safe public space.
