Renaissance or Revolution?

The New York City Street Renaissance exhibit is now open at the Municipal Art Society. Re-imagining the city's streets as a place for people rather than cars. Great ideas. Check it out:

Today: Astor Place is designed to accomodate the flow of motor vehicle traffic.

Tomorrow? Street space reclaimed for non-motorized uses and Astor Place
is re-conceived as one of New York City's great public spaces.

Why not?

I'm planning on going soon. The exhibit they had on the Brooklyn bridge park was interesting. And I continue to be amazed at how photos can be used as a way to show people a world that they could scarcely imagine if you simply tried to tell them about it. GO MAS!
