In this blog I just wanted to post my thoughts on the videos that Dr. Kyburz showed the class. (Both the videos on urbanization and the self-made film by Dr. Kyburz.)
I really enjoyed watching the video on urbanization. The way that the mayor thought not only about the upper class citizens but also the lower and middle class was refreshing to see. When he was talking about how the streets are set up to benefit all types of people really intrigued me. He talked about how there was lanes for cars, then lanes for buses, then lanes for bicycle riders. This made transportation more efficient and more safe. It's more efficient because the bus that is offered to everyone, eliminates a lot of backed up traffic the area was having previously. It is more safe because the bicyclists are out of harms way from the vehicles.
I also really enjoyed the film Dr. Kyburz made. I enjoyed watching her film and listening to what she had to say and her opinions on certain topics. I thought the political aspects and pictures she included was brilliant.
The only thing I am confused about is the snowman videos. I would really like it if Dr. Kyburz could explain that experiment and its meaning to the class!:)
