Press Reviews

A revolutionary view of mobility.
Lucy Siegle BBC

Alice in Traffic Wonderland.
De Groene Amsterdammer

The sometimes surprised outsider's perspective prompts even traffic professionals to critically question norms and rules.
Edwin Kruiniger NM Magazine

This thought-provoking book shows how streets can once again become places of social encounter.
Maarten Ducrot former cyclist and current cycling commentator

The book "Society in Motion" is an eye-opener at a time when it's difficult to see how public space can be reclaimed for people. Whether it's the transport transition or the climate crisis: this won't be achieved through a culture war directly against the car, but only by realigning cities toward people instead of car traffic. There are plenty of examples. Now it's time to put them into practice.

The Contents

As a society, we take it for granted that roads get us from A to B. But what happens when we really think about how we use these public spaces?

The Netherlands, with its thousands of bike paths, seems to have the right idea. But even then: what happens to people on foot, or those who'd rather cycle more leisurely? What about children playing in front of their houses?

Society in Motion - the bottleneck

Society in Motion - We keep traveling further

Join journalist Thalia Verkade and urban mobility expert and "cycling professor" Marco te Brömmelstroet as they confront their own core beliefs and challenge us to put people at the center of urban planning. But be warned: you'll never look at the street outside your front door the same way again.


Society in Motion was originally published in Dutch under the title „Het Recht van de Snelste“ (English: "The Right of the Fastest"). For the German translation, the work was updated, revised, and supplemented with details from Germany.
