Watch this video ad-free on Nebula: https://nebula.tv/videos/not-just-bikes-car-free-streets-are-amazing-and-we-need-more-of-them Autoluw is a Dutch urban planning concept meaning "nearly car-free". It's put into use all over the country, and has resulted in some of the greatest urban environments I've ever been to. This video explores the concept of autoluw, and how it is applied to Dutch streets, along with some examples from some foreign cities as well, such as Toronto and Copenhagen. I also talk about what Amsterdam has done to move towards the autoluwe stad, and briefly mention Agenda Amsterdam Autoluw. There is so much to talk about on this subject! I definitely plan a follow-up video on different aspects of where autoluw principles are applied. If you're interested in such things, make sure you subscribe!
