An inspiring, if temporary, step forward for more human urban environments, as reported in BoingBoing and elsewhere.
This news item reminds me of the scene in Before Sunset where Julie Delpy talks about visiting Warsaw as a teenager:
"After a couple of weeks, something changed in me. The city was quite gloomy and gray... but, after a while, my brain seemed clearer... It took me a while to figure out why... My brain felt like it was at rest, free from the consuming frenzy. And I have to say, it was almost like a natural high. I felt so peaceful inside, no... strange urge to be somewhere else, to shop... Maybe it could have seemed like boredom at first, but it quickly became very, very soulful."
