If Some People Are To Be Believed,

there will come a time when there are no motorised vehicles on the streets in major cites,


so what to do with the roads? rollout the green of course! above Fleet Street in London as visioned sans vehicles, well except one if you look carefully, the team over at WATG reenvisions some of the most iconic corridors in major cities in what the global design firm aptly describes as “guerilla greening.” 

another scene of London, through a series of GIFs, streets in LondonNew York City, and Honolulu are transformed into lush, garden-like enclaves teeming with trees, new landscaping, and thick vegetation wrapping around the existing architecture,

WAFT poured years of research into the short animations, which visualize practical and viable adjustments that would improve air quality, promote bicycle and pedestrian traffic, and make the traditionally concrete-and-brick locales more ecologically diverse, 

you can read more about the ongoing project on the firm’s site, and keep an eye out for future transformations on Twitter and Instagram, hopefully by the time all of this comes to pass there will be no more social distancing or mask wearing.
