Those of us that had the opportunity to work with Carsten admired his observational abilities, a skill he developed through\u00a0many years of experience.\u00a0He could determine in a matter of seconds\u00a0the\u00a0conflicts, risks and dangers in a street or intersection.<\/p>\n<p>He was calm, simple, funny and above all, a defender of pedestrians and cyclists. Carsten lived slowly, appreciating silence in the middle of a chaotic city. He\u00a0enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, going for walks, a nice\u00a0meal with friends, \u00a0a cup of coffee and dessert, a good joke, and phone calls from his wife. Carsten valued each moment in life; he loved his work and his family. He also loved to travel and learn about other cultures, having visited a total of 96\u00a0countries (although his goal was 100).<\/p>\n<p>Thank you Carsten for everything you taught us, both personally and professionally.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/despacio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG-20150925-WA0011.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16350\" src=\"http:\/\/despacio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/IMG-20150925-WA0011-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"IMG-20150925-WA0011\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Natalia Lleras, Despacio&#8217;s Research Director, wrote this post.
