Christof quoted Movement by Thalia Verkade
The world of toys reflect these changes. Lego offers a particularly clear illustration: standard Lego cars are now six studs wide, compared with just four in the 1980s. And they take up more space in Lego City. The faint cycle lane at the side of the road has vanished, while the ‘pavement’ has shrunk by two studs, or even three in some versions. The space allotted to cars has been discreetly expanded, at the expense of the rest of the miniature city.
