Abstract
The footway and curb have had a multitude of purposes over centuries and are adapting to new roles in the 21st century. Technology is helping to make them increasingly useful as new mobility changes how we travel. Autonomous vehicles are likely to increase competition for space at the curb especially if they become privately owned rather than shared; robots will increase use of the footway and add to the pressures there. Cities can manage these pressures through thoughtful, strategic prioritization, which should include consideration of who has the rights to city footways and curb. If our downtowns and city centers are to thrive into the 21st century, they need to be sustainable, livable, and help drive the local economy; so, getting their management right is crucial in the years ahead.
