With no flow, the cul-de-sac accumulates a uni directional energy which is left to fester much like an excess of cholesterol on the linings of the arteries, or else like a plume of algae which depletes all the oxygen and gives nothing back to its marine life cohabitants. It was not designed for this, but this is the after affects of a design tool which emerged from a traffic calming strategy. To intervene in what was already an accelerated motion also designed to progress from A to B in linear routes, following an exponential expansion, mimicking capitalism and the global economy.<\/p>\n<p>The cul de sac is linked to the garden city movements of the 1920\u2019s and was incorporated into the Radburn design in 1929 as \u201ca town for the motor age\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img
