Coincidentally it is the same space that is used by bikes. Or does the artist picture them as combat-biking on the pavement?
Bikes take much less space and they will go around people, it’s not uncommon for roads to be shared for bikes and pedestrians at the same time. On the other hand you risk getting hit by a car if you walk into the streets, thus the metaphor of falling down a chasm.
Also a depiction of how much of that space is actually paid for by car owners with registration fees. Someone has to pay the road fees to maintain all that walking space too.
Also to consider that the way the shops are build like that is because of cars not foot traffic. If it were a walking space that was explicitly built for walking and then was actually ‘surrendered’ to cars it would have been built quite differently to begin with. So it is far from accurate.

Aah, yes, all the European cities which were built way before the car and look like that were built because of cars 🤡
transit and emergency vehicles should be allowed to be there.
And no one, absolutely nobody, has said otherwise.
paid for by car owners.
Ah you sweet summer child. You still believe that cars actual finance the roads. Watch this video from 3:15 mark.

This has circled around the internet for years now. I remember the last time I saw it people were losing their minds over how “reductive” it was. Blew me away
Ugh I can imagine the re**it comments now
It’s hardly any different here.
