    Scandinavian countries and some of the places surrounding them really seem to be leading the charge in positive urbanisation.
    Rather than building for the sake of vanity and tourism like many other first-world countries, I like the fact that they seem to put their citizens and local environment first and it's a mindset that I think should be employed more nowadays.
    P.S. Garbage trucks that make less noise is something the rest of the world needs. The loud, slow ones make commuting in winter mornings a nightmare where I live at least.

    I'm not sure how Gothenburg with its car-centric infrastructure is one of the world’s most sustainable cities when it comes to mobility. Only a small number of people bike there and it's clear why - the infrastructure for bikes is really bad, cyclists get only leftovers of space, there are so many places in the city that you can not even cross unless you are in a car. I thought all of that means opposite to sustainable mobility. Don't get me wrong, there are many good things in Gothenburg, but still, electrifying public transport is not really enough to be sustainable in mobility (in my opinion)

    Gothenburg is a big city and it needs a proper tunnelbana/metro network! These can serve as secondary transport mode but they alone can't possibly meet the citizens transport demands effectively. What are your plans for that? Are there any tunnelbana projects at all for Gothenburg?

    • @sweden
      @sweden  Год назад +1

      That's a question for the local government! In the 1930s and the 1960s, far-fetched projects to build a subway system in Gothenburg were scrapped twice. There are various opinions about why Gothenburg didn't get this form of public transport. Everything from the projects' financial cost to the city's ground condition has been listed as a reason the local politicians never decided to greenlight the investments.

    I love the bus stop idea when using electric vehicles.
