Glideology: A Comic Book Vision for Multimodal Urban Streets

In 2026, ORO Editions will release "Glideology: Deliberations on Traffic and Reimagining Urban Space," authored by Andrew Furman. This comic-format publication introduces the concept of "glideology," inspired by childhood memories of coasting downhill. Furman argues for urban environments that accommodate various modes of transportation instead of focusing solely on automobiles. He asserts that common sense can enhance public spaces designed for short trips and multimodal travel. The book critiques the tendency to rely on cars for minor errands, advocating for sustainable alternatives. "Glideology" seeks to capture collective urban experiences and examine adaptations for multimodal streets. The softcover edition, with ISBN 9781966515302, will be offered in both Spanish and English, launching on July 31, 2026.
