Manhattan, not Manchester, must be the model for how cities can work with, not against, the car.
"The truth in question is that motorcars are dreadful things but human beings love 'em. There's a contradiction there, but refusing to accept that we are a mass of contradictions is one of our biggest denial issues... In my own town, England's blessed second city of Manchester, the city fathers who have helped transform us into a dynamic, fast-growing conurbation have been caught by the same stupidity. In adhering to the flawed orthodoxy of blindly attacking car-use, they have managed to do what one might have thought impossible - they have destroyed the essential culture of the city... [Does the car culture] make New York a machine city, a petro-freak, abhorrent waste land? Not a bit. Architect Rem Koolhaas calls it the culture of congestion. The city where the car runs free is the most human-proportioned metropolis on the planet, the most encouraging to walk in and on and through. It is a natural landscape, a modern natural landscape. For all its skyscraping, it is curiously human-dimensioned. And curiously full of cars."
