More about David Engwicht

David Engwicht is an artist, social inventor and street philosopher. He is inventor of the Walking School Bus and the Neighbourhood Pace Car. David is considered one of the world's most innovative thinkers on traffic, community life and urban design.

In 1987, David was washing windows for a living when authorities decided to widen a road through his neighbourhood. David became involved in the community campaign to stop the road widening and wrote the booklet Traffic Calming which is credited with starting the traffic calming revolution in many parts of the world. He then wrote Reclaiming Our Cities and Towns (also published as Towards an Eco-City) which was used as a text in university transport and urban design courses. In 1996 he published Street Reclaiming. David now works with city planners in many countries and is a popular conference presenter.
