Caminhar, o percurso | Michal Dvořák | TEDxEEB3 Youth

Caminhar costuma ser visto apenas como uma forma de ir do ponto A ao ponto B, mas também tem significados culturais e cotidianos. A palestra questiona se caminhar ainda faz sentido em um mundo em que a vida acelera, já que é mais lento do que correr, pedalar, pegar ônibus ou carro. Também pergunta se as cidades deveriam priorizar outras formas de deslocamento. A palestra foi apresentada em um evento TEDx organizado de forma independente por uma comunidade local.

• Caminhar como meio de transporte e seu lugar na cultura
• Comparação da velocidade de caminhada com outros meios
• Se caminhar ainda faz sentido nas cidades

It’s generally agreed that walking gets us places. At the same time, it also gets us to people. True, still slower than running. Slower than taking a bike or a step. Slower than taking a bus or a car. So, if our life is getting faster, does it even make sense to walk anywhere anymore? Should we in our cities rather focus on other ways of moving around? But then again… What if walking is more than just getting from A to B?

It’s still slower than running. Slower than taking a bike or a step. Slower than taking a bus or a car. As our life is getting faster, does it even make sense to walk anywhere anymore? Should we in our cities rather focus on other ways of moving around? But then again ...
