For over 70 years private cars have dominated public space in German cities. In the Free Street Manifesto, a creative-academic alliance fundamentally challenges this status quo, highlighting forgotten or unrecognized qualities of streets and the opportunities they present. In doing so it focuses on a communal spatial resource that we, in times of climate change, digitization, and social inequality, urgently need to learn to use differently.
Through images, comics, graphics and succinct scientific insights, the Free Street Manifesto points the way to a future full of exciting possibilities-and demonstrates that our streets should be more than just a route from A to B.
