Sunday Video: Volvo Lifepaint

by Stephen Fesler @safesler on April 12, 2015

Volvo Lifepaint by Volvo on Youtube.

Volvo has devised a paint that people bicycling can add to help be bright in the dark. Although Mikael Colville-Andersen at Copenhangenize has a strong take on the product.

    I think I have to at least partially agree with Copenhangenize…if our streets were safer in the first place this kind of thing wouldn’t be necessary. And of all people that are pushing it, it’s a car company. Why should people who chose not to drive have to do something extra in order to be safe?

The Urbanist was founded in early 2014 in order to examine and influence urban policies. We believe cities provide unique opportunities for addressing many of the most challenging social, environmental, and economic problems. We serve as a resource for promoting and disseminating ideas, creating community, increasing political participation, and improving the places we live.

Join us each month in Downtown Seattle for a social gathering to talk about urban issues and hear from local thought leaders.

When: Second Tuesday / 5.30pm - 7.30pm
Where: Elephant & Castle / 1415 Fifth Avenue, Seattle
