Street reclaiming

Street reclaiming is a way of making the streets safer for people who are walking, biking and driving. Imagine you are building a road and you are given a certain amount of space to work with. That space is usually used for cars to drive on, but what if we shared that space with pedestrians and bicyclists too?

Street reclaiming is when we use that space in a different way. Instead of just having cars drive on the street, we can create special areas just for people who are walking or biking. This makes it easier and safer for people to get around, especially if they aren't driving a car.

Another benefit of street reclaiming is that it can make the street look more inviting and attractive. By adding plants, benches, and other decorative features, we can make the street a nicer place for people to be.

So, in summary, street reclaiming is when we use the space on our roads in a different way to make it safer and more enjoyable for everyone who uses it.
