New NJB: Stroads (and why you won't find them in the Netherlands)

Added 2021-04-22 12:36:23 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone! My latest video is finally here. It's another Strong Towns video, but hopefully one that will be of more interest to my entire audience (not just the Americans). This video is about the Strong Towns concept of "stroads": streets that are designed like roads.

I introduce the concept of the stroad, and compare them to streets & roads, as Strong Towns often does. But the last half of the video is examples of how this is done differently in the Netherlands.

This is my longest video yet (over 18 minutes). I was very tempted to cut it into two videos (one about stroads and one about why stroads aren't a thing in the Netherlands) but I couldn't find a good way to separate them. So we'll see how a longer video does on my channel: does the average YouTube viewer have the attention span for it? :)

Thanks for your patience everyone!
