Carlos Felipe Pardo and I discussed the intriguing and neglected idea of "slowness" in urban transport. Slowness has a poor reputation but it has its place, especially in cities. S peed offers to bring more destinations within reach. Yet slow-but-steady is often better than a series of sprints between traffic signals or delays. Deliberately slowing certain sensitive segments of many vehicle trips could bring huge benefits. Does that sound puzzling? Read on (or listen) and all will become clearer
