Celebrated authors, advocates, and former Vancouverites Melissa and Chris Bruntlett return to Canada to share their story of relocating their young family to the Dutch city of Delft, and how becoming Dutch citizens reshaped their lives. In their book Curbing Traffic: The Human Case for Fewer Cars in Our Lives, they chronicle what it means to trade a car-centric lifestyle for a people-first, cycle-friendly city. Through their first-hand experiences, the Bruntletts reveal how thoughtful urban design impacts far more than mobility. It shapes our emotional wellbeing, social connections, and freedom at every age. From quieter streets that ease stress, to neighbourhoods where children and elders can move independently, their work highlights why the built environment is about more than getting from A to B - it’s about creating happier, healthier communities.
