Climate City Contracts, employed by the European Commission and created based on @ViableCities' model in Sweden, support innovation, collaboration, and engagement through development of commitments with municipalities to deliver on the EU mission for climate neutral cities

[Emily Tritsch @ERTritsch]

Considering the social return on investment of infrastructure projs positions municipalities to better align values (city budgets) with values (eg, climate, equity, safety). I am learning from Sweden the costs and benefits of investing in our future.

Thank you @SVID for sharing innovative ideas for transforming systems, fostering conversation with community, and planning through change. We look forward to bringing home lessons on co-creating the future our communities envision.

The climate & clean energy provisions in the #InflationReductionAct complement the funding & investments of the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill, and represent the dire need for climate action across all levels of government.

Nearly everyone can point to the place in their community where American infrastructure is not reaching its potential. Together, the infrastructure bill and @POTUS’ Build Back Better Framework will fix what’s broken and create new, good-paying jobs along the way.

How Austin went from #Leslie to outlawing the homeless is quite a journey

Being homeless is not a crime

[KUT Austin @KUT]

Austin has voted to reinstate criminal penalties for behavior related to homelessness. https://t.co/9gjwiOo5aR

"using public spending to improve people’s quality of life is one area where China has excelled over the past decade. An America that wants to repeat the trick shouldn’t be too proud to learn from that experience." https://t.co/OFeYnesfwR

[Secretary Pete Buttigieg @SecretaryPete]

You should not be depending on last century’s infrastructure. The #AmericanJobsPlan will modernize 20,000 miles of road across the country and repair 10,000 bridges.

[Secretary Pete Buttigieg @SecretaryPete]

Our children are counting on us to repair our roads, fight the climate crisis, and ensure equitable access to transportation. @USDOT is ready to meet this moment.

[Secretary Pete Buttigieg @SecretaryPete]

We reject false choices between fixing the roads we have and making space for alternative modes of transportation. Americans deserve world-class quality and a full range of good options to get where they need to be.

“When I leave this job whenever that is, I want to be able to look back and say my presence here helped make the 2020s a turning point in the story of American transportation to make it more “equitable” and as a primary driver of solutions on climate change." -@SecretaryPete
