There are more journeys to the shops than to work. Quiet routes into town let you take the children, even when they’re starting to ride their own bike.
- Transport Paradise is a vision of how UK cities can be adapted to make them wonderful places to live and work.
- This vision is based on what's been done in Oxford, and shows what is politically practical and affordable, given a typical UK urban-form and road-form.
- Oxford is famous as a university city, and for making cars. Oxford gave up building new roads in the 70s, and has found better ways to get the city moving.
- Other cities can start towards becoming transport paradises, if they calm traffic, and make it easy to get around by bus, by bike, and on foot.
