A reduction in everyday travel due to COVID-19 has resulted in a notable drop in carbon emissions, and it’s making people rethink how they get around. In Milan, plans are in place to expand walkways and create bike lanes to reduce pollution and car use, setting an example for other cities to follow.

Forced to avoid public transport, Americans are investing in bikes as a more hygienic and eco-friendly way to get around – but many roads weren’t built for them. This shift could force cities to overhaul their infrastructure, changing the urban landscape for the long haul.

Families, small businesses, and individuals who need to transport heavy loads are broadly neglected by existing micro-mobility solutions. By enabling rental by the hour, Cargoroo allows them to enjoy the benefits of e-cargo bike travel, which include carbon efficiency, exercise, and convenience.

As the global population continues to soar and environmental issues multiply, the ReGen Villages project may have the answer to curbing the eco-impact. Piloted by Danish architectural collaborative EFFEKT, the sharing, caring ethos of self-sufficient communities is now going viral.
