Children are an Indicator of our Streets Health

6/4/2010

 
I am reading David Byrne's bicycle diaries.  There's a great quote attributed to Enrique Penalosa, former Mayor of Bogota:

"One common measure of how clean a mountain stream is to look for trout.  If you find a trout, the habitat is healthy.  It's the same for children in a city.  Children are a kind of indicator species.  If we can build a successful city for children, we will have a successful city for all people..."
