What a beautiful, thoughtful stretch of urban landscape! And not a centimeter dedicated to the storage of privately-owned motor vehicles. May this be the future for us all.
Excellent podcast on 'the Urbanist Agenda'! I was dragged in until the conversation released me at the end. So good to hear the difference between a traffic engineer and a civil engineer who does roads. Hope many take the time and listen.
Hahaha, well done man, great format! If Arcadis takes this over for every infrastructure project they build I am sure a lot of people would be way more interested in what they do and in civil engineering in general. Great editing, keep it up!
Your production skills are clearly improving! Perhaps this question is outside of your expertise, but do you have any idea how we can make public transport more economically competitive with car travel? We already tax car use a lot and subsidize public transport. Yet, in Holland even single person trips are currently not cheaper by bus and train than they are by car.
In the Netherlands it depends. If you calculate the actual costs of the car you would be surprised. I've calculated this for a number of trips, and it's pretty much even. Don't know if it's different in Holland.
@@KeesBoons Exactly, they're pretty much even. So if you travel in groups of two, travel by train is already double the cost of one car, while not bringing you from door to door. I still use Holland to refer to the whole country (just like we tend to do when speaking Dutch). I will keep doing so until the government releases a statement that we want to be called 'Netherland' henceforth, instead of the awkward and cumbersome plural noun with an article.
Public transportation already is economically competitive. The main difference is that many people think of transit as a profit driven business and car infrastructure as an essential service. They are both services. For instance, the US interstate system is not profitable from an strictly operating budget point of view. A user fee (federal gas tax) is used to pay for maintenance. But that in of itself is not enough to cover it. Many states also have to levy their own gas tax on top of the federal one to cover the cost. And more money has to be pumped in for improvements. Think of the big infrastructure bills passed in washington to pay for new interchanges, widenings, bridge replacements and so on. All of this can be true and also be absolutely ridiculous to label the interstate system as a bad investment. Because while its user fees arent enough to cover its full upkeep and expansion, the benefits arent calculated in until you look at the economy as a whole. Think about all the economic growth, higher tax revenues from that growth, better logistics, job creation, and so on. The exact same dynamic is true for transit. Yes, the entire operating cost of upkeep and expansion may not be covered by tickets alone, but the economic implications of allowing anyone to move quickly through an entire metro region for something like 3-5 bucks is so massive, that it would be equally stupid to call pumping money into it a 'waste of money'. Think of the transcontintal railroad in the US. The motivation of the transcontinental railroad wasnt about making profit by selling tickets, it was about massively profiting the US economy by opening up the economic resources of the west, populating the west coast, and developing farmland along the RR's alignment. Thats why the US government funded it with a blank check and couldnt have given a rats ass if the project cost would be earned back through the sale of tickets.
It's only finished, when the last person has abandoned their private car ;) But yep, bridges are shockingly often the cause for gaps in the bike network here as well. Or for one-sided bike lanes within the city.
I imagine this took a lot of work with the effects and all. Great job! I am not sure about the style itself and if it fits as your own style, that's for you to decide. But it is informative in an interesting way.
If you finished your bike network it's time to start at the beginning in New Game +. Unlock even redder shades of asphalt and more places to fit in roundabouts.
Now we have to wait until the road right of this one finally gets upgraded to modern standards, cycling from the Arena to here is a nightmare, the infrastructure is still in the 90s
Impossible. A bike network is never finished. As the city and the demands develop, do does the infrastructure need to adapt. Nowadays, even the types of bikes (more e-bikes) cause new challenges that I am sure will spark future changes.
@@AndreSomers Agreed, a bicycle network is never finished, and improvements will always be necessary to adjust to usage, technical developments, and everything the future brings. On the other hand, the city wanted safe routes for bicycles to, and from, city center. One big bottleneck remained, this street. Between two bridges, one very narrow, and a lot of traffic among which public transport. Banning cars was a courageous step, because it puts pressure on the other car routes to and from the city center. Is this an ideal solution? Buses still pass cyclists very close, and that gives me shivers. Improvement? Yes.

I didn't know I needed a Call of Duty x Dutch cycling planning mash up, but I did. Thank you.
Its obvious that there was alot of effort put into this one, definitely looking forward to more info on this area
I love the fact that it so over the top, really does it for me :D
Omg, so much work went into this! Great video and interesting to see something outside of Amsterdam in the Netherlands!

We need Arcadis in North America! 😊
Incredible
Cool! 😁
Epic!
And I really wasn't expecting to see 's-Hertogenbosch, haha, though I guess if I would've looked better at the thumbnail I should've seen it ;)
Nice animations! 👊

Nice video! I really like the cycling infrastructure there.
Very nicely done!

That was indeed very nice made, a little short but nice
Ayy outstanding video!
This had me laughing so hard! Oh jeez I shouldn't have watched this in my cubicle it was too hard to keep from making noise LOL
I imagine this took a lot of work with the effects and all. Great job!

Hey, under 20 minutes until premier!
I often walk past this bridge but I never cross it so I had no idea that they were working on this street 😂😅 thanks for the news report haha :)
That was so cool, wow!!
If you finished your bike network it's time to start at the beginning in New Game +. Unlock even redder shades of asphalt and more places to fit in roundabouts.
Is it an app? What app do u use for modeling streets? Are there any free tools for non-professionals?
This was all done with the help of an animator
Nice intro, but can't get over the fact that Den Bosch isn't in the box you zoomed in on!

Watch the video first Andre ;) :D
@@buildthelanes once released, I will. Until that time we only have the title and image to go off on, can’t blame us for doing that…
of course i cant! the title is doing its job. getting people engaged@@AndreSomers

Know way a video about my beautiful home town
The Modern Warfare 2 part was amazing
This is amazing, more of this 😂
Always enjoy seeing propagandart to save the human race. 😉
