I’m currently in Munich on a few days business. I’ve always liked the city and feel a cultural affinity.
Seeing that Munich has 1.3 million inhabitants, it’s fairly comparable with Milan.
This city has three things that I love:
- the public transport system
- the green areas
- the cycling paths
A few facts to back that up: Munich has 6 urban subway lines and 10 (yes 10!) suburban subway lines. That means living in a farmhouse and working downtown, seeing that it takes only 40 minutes to get to any part of the city.
Green areas are plentiful, clean and well-groomed.
But the cycling paths… the cycling paths are just amazing…there are a whole 900 kilometers of them (that’s right 900!) crisscrossing the city, all “cyclists only” and its bad news for you if you dare walk on one.
I’m keeping a close eye on Milan City’s plans for the Expo 2015, which include some nice projects also for cycling paths, as well as the rest of the urban system.
I’m counting on it, I really hope they come to fruition.
We deserve them.
