Traffic crashes are the #1 global killer of kids and young adults aged 5-29 worldwide—even more than violence, drugs or disease. We need to lead by design and pave the road ahead with new possibilities. forbes.com/sites/tanyamohn/2…

"The entry completely reimagines the bridge with numerous new features including improved pedestrian wooden walkways, a dedicated cycle path and many areas of vegetation at both ends of the bridge. The plan also triples the capacity of the bridge for pedestrians and cyclists."

"In addition to this, more space will be dedicated to the public which will include areas for pop-up market stalls for independent and local vendors. Neighbourhood services will also be available at these stalls."
We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes, finalizing some last details, and now we can finally announce that we were selected as the winners of the professional category! Special thanks to @van_alen for the platform to pursue this project that is almost a decade in the making.
