Mobility vs accessibility -- we've been taught to think that transport 
is about mobility -- this feeds our belief in our right to be able to go 
anywhere any time. This is the cause of a lot of unsustainable design 
and behaviour. Very good video!/ /Have to say I think there may be merit 
in what he says about the embodied energy costs of major infrastructure 
such as metro trains, subways, etc, being way too high -- the payback 
period energy-wise, in a time of climate change, being more than we can 
afford when things are so critical... I have to say that this is the 
most sensible and insightful stuff I've heard so far...
