The current landscape of transportation is flat, while in nature everything is layered, complex and flows in all directions.
Why is there no canopy in a city for nutrients to flow through? In the rainforest the majority of nutrients stay within the canopy, which act as the highways for organisms to move through.
Why do all cars exist on the same plane? Chicago is renowned for it's dual layer of traffic, freeing up the surface, but this seems simplistic to me. Why can't the vehicles themselves encourage layering?
The bus above - with more information available here - is a proposed design that straddles existing traffic to create it's own flow/lane...
What are the different scenarios that would make this possible?
