Contested Streets - Breaking New York City Gridlock
Breaking New York City Gridlock
Contested Streets explores the history and culture of New York City streets from pre-automobile times to the present. This examination allows for an understanding of how the city- though the most well served by mass transit in the United States- has slowly relinquished what was a rich, multi-dimensial conception of the street as public space to a mindset that prioritizes the rapid movement of cars and trucks over all other functions.
Central to the story is a comparison of New York to what is experienced in London, Paris and Copenhagen. Interviews and footage shot in these cities showcase how limiting automobile use in recent years has improved air quality, minimized noise pollution and enriched commercial, recreational and community interaction. London´s congestion pricing scheme, Paris´ Bus Rapid Transit and Copenhagen´s bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure are all examined in depth. NYC, though to many the most vibrant and dynamic city on Earth, still has lessons to learn from Old Europe.
