This was great! A lot of new information, too.

Do you recommend any books about the provo movement and maybe how it impacted urbanism?

Thanks Leonard! Provo were only around for a few short years, but their key people and ideas spread out across the city and had a significant impact (including getting a Councillor elected, who was then kidnapped by the same group who attempted to bomb the Metro line - crazy times!)

Check out books "In the city of bikes" by Pete Jordan, or Fred Feddes "Bike City Amsterdam" and the 2or3 Things blog: https://www.tumblr.com/2or3things
