Third: Why do #ConservationAreas exist? A small detour into #History.

The 1960s saw the rapid rise of #car ownership. This marked the start of the #carbonization of our economy.

Urban redevelopment was pushed to make cities "ready for cars".

But people did not want roads cutting through their communities.

Conservation arose as *barrier* to this rapid change in the lived environment.

So: the origin can be traced to opposition against what would become a main driver of #ClimateChange.
