Monuments to car-centricity: The footbridges of Metro Manila

Footbridges are among the most common public structures in Metro Manila. The government says they’re there to protect pedestrians and make our cities more walkable. But is that what they do? Rappler maps out all these footbridges and tallies their cost. In 2025, the government plans to develop an active transport masterplan. What role should footbridges have in that plan? What are the alternatives? Watch this video to find out. #MakeManilaLiveable

more urbanism content pa sana from Rappler, gandang video ng ganito

[@bosley629]

sa mga biyahe namin sa Japan, lakad lang at bisikleta madalas
pero ang mga angle of inclination nila doon ay hindi matarik
yung iba nga may flat bike pathway pa nga sa gitna para ma-akay ang bisikleta nang makatawid sa patutunguhan
sa halagang nabanggit, bakit hindi pinagisipan ang pagawa sa mga footbridges?
Tsk....

Unless you're a senior, PWD, or pregnant, footbridges are actually a great way para ma-exercise ang vast majority ng mga tao. The clinically obese mom should actually use it more often.

yeah somewhat, pero sa first line ng video palang, most people when they see a footbridge, they tend to get turned off of the idea of walking. So it actually discourages people from walking, another good form of exercise.
