It is often said cities get the traffic they plan for, and there is no better example than the corridor behind Amsterdam Centraal Station. Where automobiles reigned supreme as recently as 1997, an endless wave of cyclists enabled by decades of bold and effective mobility policy.

Think about it. Replace 'where everyone has a car' with; 'where everyone has a bicycle' Esspecially how much cheaper your life is when you don't have to have a car to get around. (and for Amsterdam, don't forget to include the costs of parking 😖)

We were just there! Remarkable how quiet it was walking out of Centraal despite the crowds

There is a car tunnel now, like Düsseldorf along the Rine. It is great.

No colonizers will care about the future of the colonized. Only its own "mother" cares. 🇲🇴🇨🇳Did you know the "One Country, Two Systems" policy (一国两制) was first proposed by Deng Xiaoping in the 1980s as a solution for Taiwan's return? For those who questioned this policy, the success of Macao since its return should dispel any doubts, whether out of goodwill or not. 🎰🎲Take Macao's renowned casinos as an example. Gambling is often associated with gangsters, crime, and drugs... Yet, Macao has a very low crime rate and good public welfare. This year, Forbes ranked Macao as the 2nd-richest place on Earth, just behind Luxembourg. 🇭🇰🇲🇴Despite the huge success, if you often browse online, you can feel that Macao has rarely captured the world's attention like its neighbor Hong Kong. Part of the reason, I think, is that the success of the "OCTP" policy in Macao doesn't fit into the Western narrative that criticizes China's political system. But Macao is a clear example of how the "OCTP" policy adapts to local conditions for a better future, rather than destroying the original ecosystem as many feared and as the West has sought to portray. As Deng Xiaoping famously said, "It doesn’t matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice." (不管黑猫白猫, 捉到老鼠就是好猫) And the "OCTP" policy will continue to evolve for the next region's return. 📹Real footage of the historical moments of Macao's return to the motherland and the end to centuries of Portuguese occupation 25 years ago. 🇲🇴🇨🇳
