In Keiller's analysis of the populace's efforts to cope with these forces and the changes they
set in motion, I recognize the projects of some of the artists in this book: «As individuals, we can't rebuild the
public transport system, or re-empower
local democracy, but we can poeticize our relationship with their dilapidation.»
We have a plan: due to pressure from several non-government organizations and some commitment from our
local authorities, the Guadalajara metropolitan area (Tonalá, Tlaquepaque, Zapopan, El Salto, Tlajomulco and Guadalajara) has a document that
sets the standards for what the city could become by shifting from its motor - driven orientation to a more pedestrian,
public transport oriented and bike friendly one.
