Build more roads or reduce traffic?
July, 2016
- Except for a ‘joy ride’, traffic on the road is a derived demand. Therefore we should we first challenge why people are on the road? Before we decide to build more roads
With the advancements in affordable technology and connectivity, why physically visit your office on every working day? - Why physically build big towns and big offices (and the traffic it generates) when it is possible to be small, yet be part of a bigger ‘connected’ world?
- Future competiveness, be it an economy, enterprise or employee, will depend on smart application of ICT. So why ‘ape’ mega cities that were built in a ‘physical’ era? Why not build our own ‘Futurepolis’?
