Understanding 'Strodes': The Urban Dilemma

This chapter investigates the concept of 'strodes,' hybrid spaces that fail to effectively serve as either streets or roads, leading to unsafe environments for both pedestrians and drivers. It discusses the historical context of urban development and its link to modern infrastructure challenges, emphasizing the importance of pedestrian-friendly design. Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, the chapter advocates for a rethinking of urban planning to prioritize community needs over vehicle-centric models.
