Forty Parking Spaces: entrevista sobre a reforma de uma rua (B1)
Reporter: You removed forty parking spaces from Aurora Street. Why?
Architect: Because the street belonged to cars, not to people. We widened the pavement, planted trees and added benches.
Reporter: Shopkeepers protested.
Architect: They did, and I understand them. Six months later, however, sales in the same shops had increased. People who walk stop and buy; people who drive pass by.
Reporter: Is this model possible everywhere?
Architect: No. Each street has its own rhythm. What we can copy is the method: measure first, talk to residents, and only then draw.
