Episode notes
This briefing document synthesizes key findings from a 2025 report by the International Federation of Pedestrians (IFP) and the Korean Transport Institute (KOTI). The report addresses the urgent need for sustainable urban mobility by examining the complex relationship between pedestrians, cyclists, and motorized vehicles.The central takeaway is that while tensions often exist between pedestrians and cyclists in shared spaces, the primary source of danger and space inequity in cities remains the motorized vehicle. To foster safer, more liveable cities, urban planning must transition from a "Motordom" (car-centric) model to a "City of Places" model that prioritizes active mobility.
