Reclaiming urban spaces for people
This was a sign that I saw in Camden town near the heart of London. An initiative by the town council. The street had been pushed back a bit at the corner to make a wider pavement on which seats and large plants had been placed. What a nice idea..reclaiming streets of big cities from vehicles for people!
The other bit I enjoyed was discovering the Regent canal in a pretty central part of London. From Camden town to Little Venice. Similar to the enjoyment of a great open space like Central park in the middle of busy busy Manhattan. I love the way these big cities create/maintain these open spaces amidst probably the world's priciest real estate.
Sighhh, Bangalore! I guess that is the next step in the evolution of a big city...maybe in my childrens' lifetime :-)
Greenery amidst skyscrapers..Central park, Manhattan
Regents Canal pretty close to central London
