With more options that ever for getting around cities, and finite space, the question of how we use this infrastructure, and who controls it, is more important than ever.

Our city curbs are transportation battles for space in the flow of traffic. While private tech startups are producing popular transportation solutions, such as Bird's electric scooters, the city is the one paying to build and maintain these public spaces. An upswing in dockless vehicles has far reaching potentials for cities to achieve sustainable goals, if they can reassert their ownership.

These scooters do not remove cars from the road. They simply weaponize dumb pedestrians.
