@RJSCity Haha~ No worries, let's go to the mall.

@RJSCity a potential solution to your question on how to adapt Whyte Avenue to Art Walk

[Jonathan Berk @berkie1]

The retail vacancy rate on Montreal’s Mont-Royal Avenue dropped from 14.5% before pedestrianization (2018) to 5.6% after pedestrianization (2023).

What is the role of 30-min driving in the 15-min city?

[Gaotrain @Gaotrain]

Thanks for this great work! All governments around the globe should learn from this approach to enable better public access to morphology data.

Amazing multi-year work by @Nikola_MD, Felix Wagner et al.

Pls consider streaming or recording the symposium. Proximity planning or the X-min City are clearly not restricted to Europe and the US. Make it a global debate!

A good proposal but not progressive enough. I would remove these two lanes for private vehicles; instead, turning them into shared paths mainly for pedestrians, cyclists, and emergency vehicles.

@RJSCity They need a vibrant walkable main st to rally, protest, and attract the attention of the public, demonstrating why the notion of the 15-min city is necessary for democracy. Interesting…

[Gaotrain @Gaotrain]

@RJSCity @nlamontagne This seems to be a promising plan for transforming and strengthening the urban/retail core of Calgary.

[Gaotrain @Gaotrain]

This exactly demonstrates that EVs are not the answer to climate changes. How could Hummers roaring on the road - using any types of energy - create sustainable, people-centred, and safe urban spaces?

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

Biden is giving free publicity to the Hummer EV, a 4.5-ton behemoth so inefficient that it pollutes more per mile than a *gas-powered* sedan.

The transformation towards a pedestrian/cyclist-friendly city in Paris is amazing. In future when teaching Parisan urban planning wisdom, we have better precedents than Baron Haussmann, the emperor behind him, and boulevards and avenues that are condusive to cars and power.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.”

It wasn’t even this way in late 2019 when I was there last.

Just a few years ago, #Paris was choking in car traffic.

This is new. This is leadership.

Cities are a result of choices.

Outdated spatial arrangement, obsolete public/private interface and public space, inward-oriented mall environment, the rise of online retailing, the Covid-19 pandemic ... U name it. Baltimore's Inner Harbour stands for the struggling urban retail landscape today.

Shocked to see this happening in Melbourne, but is it sth completely out of our scope?

Interesting new study for #heat #planning looking at factors predicting indoor temperatures. Unsurprisingly AC is key (why energy resilience & affordability a key #heat #management strategy), but in some cities building characteristics appeared more influential than tree canopy

[Billie Giles-Corti @billiegc]

While great global cities - Paris, London, New York - are rolling out safe cycling infrastructure, @cityofmelbourne has bowed to pressure from @paulguerra56 & others: No more new bike lanes for CBD after council cops complaints - thoughts? https://t.co/FhU9IBzjiz
