Living Cities with Will Butler-Adams Brompton Bicycle IFB2016 Blue Skies
Across the world there is net migration to cities, from London to Seoul; Istanbul to Santiago. This migration has occurred in such a subtle and rapid way, that we have not had a chance to adapt or to accommodate it.
Cities have become congested, polluted and depressed, burdening society with exponential growth, diabetes and heart disease due to obesity, which has grown 60% in the UK in the last 10 years as well as chronic mental health problems. Yet the solution has been under our noses for 100 years, in the form of the simple bicycle.
