Favorite (place in the) city
My favorite city is Utrecht, where I discovered how different modes of transport can coexist on equal footing. From cycling networks and efficient roads to exploring the canals by kayak, the city offers multiple ways to move around. Its vibrant historic center and well-connected modern developments make it a fascinating example of thoughtful urban design.
