Car-centric cities

Having been fortunate enough to have seen quite a few parts of the world, and having been in Singapore for 6 years now -- I've been able to start comparing places and looking at the "where next" question.

With Ila on the way, both as a parent and if I were a kid still -- where would I want to grow up?

Growing up wasn't a fan of Grimbergen because it was quite dull (but then again, it was very close to Brussels, and easily connected to Antwerp): I wanted a city, and that's why I moved to Antwerp (and later Singapore).

Continuous Sidewalks

Living in Singapore -- a city extremely unfriendly towards bicycles and pedestrians (to the point they banned e-scooters because they had to blame someone for the accidents, and it couldn't be the cars) I started paying attention to urban design in Europe and started noticing the little things I wouldn't pay attention before.

Having just come back from Belgium, Amsterdam and Copenhagen it's great seeing a video pointing out the differences and how it all works.
