Description

America has Traffic Engineers. The Netherlands has Transportation Engineers. One is concerned with moving as many cars as possible, the other builds transportation systems. In this podcast, I'm joined by Steffen Berr, an American Traffic Engineer turned Transportation Engineer who now lives in the Netherlands. We discuss the myopic approach taken by Traffic Engineers in America, and how it ultimately ruins cities.Steffen has a great article that is worth reading:https://nextcity.org/urbanist-news/america-has-no-transportation-engineersStrong Towns Conversation with an Engineer: https://youtu.be/P9BUyWVg1xIWonderland Road: https://youtu.be/Ds-v2-qyCc8Not Just Bikes: https://nebula.tv/notjustbikesBuild the Lanes: https://www.youtube.com/@buildthelanesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
