In #poor countries the rising #middleclass is discovering that the first thing they want to buy when they can afford to is a #car. From Johannesburg to São Paulo, Bengaluru to Jakarta, the car is increasingly dominant. The fastest-growing #cities all over the world look more like Houstons than like #Amsterdams. And far more people live in them than in #America or #Europe. That is why unless we deal with the car, #climatechange is going to prove unstoppable.

@burritojustice it's almost like people are discovering that everyone can live in a #15minuteNeighborhood if they just replace a few parking lots with shops that serve your daily needs.
