[sustran] Re: Gender, Economic Integration and Cross-Border Infrastructure Development

[Velo Mondial]

During the World CarFree Conference in York, that Velo Mondial attended a 
video was created asking some experts to comment on the plans of Guadelajara 
Jalisco Mexico to build a highway. The plans resembled those that Amsterdam 
had back in the sixties of building a highway through the city; 
Amsterdammers blocked those plans and now we have the pretty city that 
Amsterdam is. The video was put on Youtube but the government of Jalisco was 
not pleased and asked YouTube to bring it down (after around 15,000 hits) 
claiming misuse of Copyright! That proved to be an action on the same level 
in communication as the plans are for building the road in the field of 
mobility. It became a much larger issue, calling even more attention on 
people worried about censorship and accountability. Two days later another 
11,000 saw the video on YouTube.
