“Mobility is the first axis, but the second is biodiversity. Instead of organizing cities with the zoning that is currently proposed, which is purely productive and in which a single use is assigned to the different elements and management spaces, we need to introduce the biological aspects of human beings: the amount of shade needed, how much it is reasonable to walk without resting, how this is articulated differently in different ages, how much drinking water we should have at our disposal, etc. We want our homes to be healthy, to take care of us and help us take care of ourselves, our cities should be extensions of that idea of comfort. Just as we want our homes to be healthy, to take care of us and help us to take care of ourselves, our cities should be extensions of this idea of comfort.” — Izaskun Chinchilla.
