Rethinking Mobility: A Call for Sustainable Solutions

This chapter discusses the unsustainability of existing road infrastructure as vehicle weights increase, stressing the need for alternative modes of transportation like rail, cycling, and public transit. It highlights the capacity and efficiency advantages of rail systems over roadways, particularly exemplified by the Victoria Line's throughput. The conversation critiques modern innovation narratives, arguing for a focus on proven solutions and systemic changes rather than waiting for new technologies to resolve existing inefficiencies.
