It would be reasonable to conclude that the 2 most inspirational cities in the world right now in city-building for people are Paris & Montreal. It might be the french culture for place-making and civic sociability. On the other hand, it might be about 2 progressive women mayors.

Avant / Après Avenue de Clichy à la frontière entre le 17ème et le 18ème arrondissement. L'avenue est passée en sens unique pour la circulation générale, et la voie à gauche de la photo est devenue une piste cyclable bidirectionnelle.

97%+ of over 65s are registered to vote. Only 2/3s of 18-24 year olds are on the register. If you turn 18 on or before 4th July you can register to vote right now.

Do not lose your democratic birthright! It matters so much.

It only takes 5 minutes.

“Currently about 2/3rds of all Dutch children walk or bike to school, with 75% of secondary school kids cycling to school. By enabling safe and active travel, #Dutch cities prevent an estimated one million car journeys to school each morning.” — @modacitylife in #CurbingTraffic

Avant / Après la piétonnisation et la végétalisation des contre-allées de l'Avenue Daumesnil juste à l'est de la place Félix Eboué. Avant, les deux contre-allées servaient de places de stationnement, une centaine de places environ ont disparu je pense.

I see that Exeter candidates @WillAczel (LibDems) and @aw_bell (Green Party) are supporting the Climate and Nature Bill but @steve_race (Labour) and @TessaDTucker (Conservatives) have not declared.

Referred to by Mayor Hidalgo as her “Sweet Revolution”, Paris’ School Streets are helping build consensus around a future vision of the city.

205 have been built, with a goal of 300 by 2026; repurposing space from (moving and parked) cars for community, commerce, and connection.

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. Via @Treehugger

Avant / Après Rue Joseph Dijon dans le 18ème arrondissement de Paris. Ici les deux files de places de stationnement ont été retirées, les trottoirs agrandis, avec des arbres plantées sur la place gagnée.

Advice from a new study on bike/walk commuting:

"Interventions to promote [biking/walking to work] should highlight the mental health benefits, substantial money savings through reduced transport costs, and improvements in predictability of travel time."
