On an unusually bright morning earlier this year, that mayor, Ken Livingstone, strides into the
room before a bank of cameras, and with an unusually pleased look on his dour face, announces a
coup, one that has eluded dozens of large cities like New York, Los Angeles and Paris. He has not
conquered crime or poverty, but he may very well have hobbled an urban enemy seemingly just as
invincible: the car. Livingstone has just begun the world's most radical experiment in reclaiming
the city from the tyranny of the automobile, a power struggle that cities have been losing in
humiliating fashion for more than half a century.

something we should do in some of our cities...
