MUGA: Decongesting Nairobi is not just about banning matatus from the CBD. #TheSituationRoom

Global problems require global solutions. We ought to work together to make the world a safe place.

Floods in Mumbai, India👇👇

This is the climate crisis unraveling. No place is “safe” any more.

These happenings really show that climate change is a global problem that requires a global solution. Proud to be part of AvH fellowship contributing to solving the big problems of the world in little ways. #AvH

When public transport doesn’t work in your city it’s because of choices which have been made to reduce freedom.

Decisions around land-use, budgets, infrastructure & operational decisions can either lead to 🚙 Car Dependency or freedom👇👇

“Where there’s a Humboldtian, there is a way.” As Hans-Christian Pape says in his opening words of our second virtual annual meeting. Corona shouldn’t, and can’t, hold us back. Two exciting days are awaiting us! #ProgressDiversity

Maybe we could change the discourse of walking and cycling with tree planting

Happy #WorldBicycleDay #WorldBikeDay #WorldBikeDay to everyone. Pop up bike lanes in Dresden. The social injustice of public spaces distribution along the road needs to stop.

Sniegs parāda, kā krustojumus padarīt drošākus ekonomiskākus:
✔️Divas reizes īsāks un drošāks ceļš gājējiem pāri brauktuvei;
✔️Vairāk vieta labiekārtojumam;
✔️Mazāki izdevumi brauktuves uzturēšanai, jauna asfalta klāšanai, remontam.

Als het sneeuwt, inspireert Moeder Natuur ons om gezondere, leukere en eerlijkere straten te maken.
#sneeuw #sneckdown

Every time it snows, Mother Nature inspires us to create healthier & more equitable streets!

Vieta pietiek visiem, tikai ielas telpu jāizmanto efektīvi.

Rezultātā ieguvēji ir visi - drošākas ielas, patīkamāka dzīvojamā vide ar vairāk kokiem, apstādījumiem, labiekārtojumu.

We do not lack public space.
We lack imagination!

@ConstantCap I am even ashamed 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[Jack Asare Awuku @AwukuJack]

@ernestgbadago @Citi973 I strongly believe that once we set out and define the segregated lanes for the BRT system, it could be doubly used as a tram lane as well if the schedules are well coordinated. Adding lanes n interchanges are only quick stop and unsustainable ways

[Jack Asare Awuku @AwukuJack]

Adding lanes to roads n building interchanges are not sustainable ways of improving transport n mobility in any urban setting.We are only shifting the problems to other intersections by building these interchanges. #CitiCBS

[Jack Asare Awuku @AwukuJack]

@ernestgbadago @Citi973 @ernestgbadago I think a much sustainable approach will be implementing a BRT system with Segregated lanes and well coordinated time schedules.This could positively influence a modal shift from single occupancy private car use to the high occupancy BRT
