There is a distinct thrill in the simple act of stepping forward - whether it's the momentum of feet upon cobblestone streets or the rhythmic turn of pedals propelling one through an urban mosaic. "Two Wheels and Two Feet: Cities Embracing Change" isn't just a title; it's a manifesto, an invitation, and a reflection of the transformation we witness in the world around us. I had the pleasure of first meeting Robert Ornig during a city planning conference in Amsterdam, a city where bicycles rule and cars are mere guests. The passion with which Robert spoke of the potential for urban change, for a world where streets are reclaimed by the people, was infectious. I knew then that his observations and insights needed to be shared with the world. This book isn't just about urban planning or transportation. At its heart, it's about humanity's innate desire for connection - with each other, with our environment, and with the future we envision for ourselves. Through the intricate web of stories and analyses that Robert weaves, we are compelled to see our cities not as they are, but as they could be. In a world striving for sustainable change, amidst the chaos of traffic jams and the cacophony of honking horns, the solution might just lie in the quiet whirr of bicycle chains and the soft patter of footsteps. As you delve into the pages of this masterpiece, I hope you find not just information, but inspiratio
