In the future, the street will be wider again, just like when the car was introduced to the city—not for machines but for civic life. Large, self-driving electric modules will configure various public facilities for citizens.
They will travel through the city, bringing diverse public resources equally and emotionally to the community. These modules will serve as public transportation with engaging programs, encouraging people to experience the city rather than merely sitting on seats with small screens.
They will coexist with cars, instead of excluding all cars from pedestrianized streets. When these modules depart, the empty street transforms into a plaza for citizens to occupy. Every day, every hour, people will experience different public facilities right in front of their doors. There will be no need to purchase an expensive apartment close to the office but far from friends.
Sometime it is university campus...
