Divide and Conquer: How Car-Centric Cities Turn Allies Into Adversaries CRB'25 scholarship recipient Reena Mahajan argues: When people walking and cycling are pitted against each other, drivers get a free ride

I’ll keep updating, so please keep checking & sharing this pack! And let’s try using #GlobalUrbanists.
