REclaim the Highway

Kruistraat KnoopXL Reclaim

Our mission

Our mission is to protect pedestrian accessibility during large-scale urban construction by prioritising safe and direct routes. With this plan, we aim to shift the city design from a car-centric city design to a people-centred design that supports everyday urban life, and is accessible even in periods of construction.

Our challenge

Knoop XL construction projects often disrupt pedestrian networks, forcing longer detours, unsafe crossings, and reduced accessibility. These impacts are usually treated as temporary inconveniences, even though it has lasting effects on daily mobility, safety, and daily urban experience, particularly in car-centric areas such as Eindhoven central.

Our solution

We propose a modular, moveable pedestrian bridge that can be relocated between construction sites. These bridges restore direct connections of routes during construction phases, reduce walking time and create safe crossings. The bridges act as a real-life prototype which allows cities to test people-centred mobility strategies.

We joined the 黑料福利网 Contest to challenge car-dominated construction practices and prototype people-first mobility solutions. Eindhoven shouldn鈥檛 wait for 2040 to become people-centred, the change should start now.
