Principle 1 should not focus on reducing congestion (by building more roads?) but reducing car usage. It should not focus on keeping people at home by improving digital connectivity (although this is needed for other reasons) but focus on encouraging greater use of Green public transport (not old buses), cycling (safe cycle routes, and prioritising cyclists over cars - see the Netherlands) and doping this way before 2040, when it will be far too late.
