Yep, thats what this is

Are you suggesting this is not progress? Because this is honestly amazing.
What's the point of water if you can't chill by the water
All my homies like chilling by the water

edit: oh wait - it actually exists?!
This title is under a few layers of irony, there are similar pictures floating around of green spaces converted to highways in the US with the same title, OP is suggesting the European version actually is progress
Why the quotes? It looks much better.
I highly doubt OP knows what quotes mean here
"Sarcasm"
Why the ""? Getting cars out of cities to improve quality of life is a major progress.
The cars are still there, in massive numbers. You just can't see the tunnel they built between those two pictures. It's right beneath the feet of the pedestrians.
At least they can´t kill cyclists and pedestrians this way and the emissions get somewhat contained. Of course this is only a compromise but on the way to car free cities it might be a useful intermediate step before we can actually get rid of carbrainitis.
That still seems better though. Less noise, safer and more usable space.
why the quotation marks?
This is actual progress. I'd love for places to have more green
I agree ! We unfortunately are cutting trees in favor or roads in india !
More trees, more happiness
Why did you put the title in quotes
Ah yeah they should’ve just done the American thing instead and bulldozed the whole strip of town to put in a 20 lane wide interstate with a Bucees and Walmart/s
Why is there open and close quotations? Isn’t this progress?
The new look is sexier.
I started writing a comment of confusion because I thought I was on the mildly infuriating community not the mildly interesting community.
Overall yes this is wonderful progress that more cities need to adopt
Why scare quotes? I lived in Düsseldorf back in '90 (go alts - that was the name of my school team, and yes it was sponsored by Alt bier 🍺... different times), it's always been one of Germany's more clean cut, upmarket cities, but this picture makes me want to go back and check it out again.
Then again, I'm a queer transfem and I'm in BERLIN, THE QUEER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD. Düsseldorf is in the last instance just meh.
Yes progress! Using the quotes there make it seem like you disagree that this is progress, which I will choose to believe you didn't mean it like that.
I have seen a few pictures like this from around the world. It's pretty encouraging
Look at all the people enjoying the waterfront now. It's a beautiful sight to see.
That place found its humanity again.
Not sure why the quotes exist, but this is beautiful to see.
Better late than never, and I hope we can take these examples to other car-centric places to fix.
Damn, I jealous. I hope my country start investing in non-xar centric progress soon.
Every urban environment can be improved with the construction of a vague and ominous obelisk
How can I get this for Los Angeles?
Wasn't it just moved underground?
ITT: why the quotation marks?
Amazing place! I’m from there. The Rhein is amazing and it’s a great park right next to the old district.
