Abstract
Whether the Dutch want to celebrate it or not, the Netherlands is the poster child for what a nation built on two wheels looks like—a place built at a human scale that puts people first, and motor vehicles last. They’re quick to admit they’re not perfect, but through their challenges and triumphs, they discreetly provide the blueprint for other regions to use as a starting point on their own journeys towards becoming healthier, happier places. The task now is to keep sharing the lessons the Dutch have learned—what works and what doesn’t—and push others out from behind their respective status quos to see what’s possible once they let go of their dependence on cars.
