Show Notes

Join Herman and Corn as they dive into a listener-inspired debate on the future of private transport. While electric vehicles are often hailed as the ultimate solution, this episode explores the "geometry problem" of urban congestion and the hidden environmental costs of car manufacturing. From the "Superblocks" of Barcelona to the innovative transit networks of the Netherlands, we examine how cities are reclaiming public space from cars. Is it possible to scale these solutions to rural areas, and what does true freedom of movement look like in a world without traffic jams? Discover why the next revolution in transport might not be what's under the hood, but how we design our world.
