Unfortunate to see this NIMBY'd away when we are facing a housing shortage and the new mayor has a goal of 30,000 new housing units during her first term. Hopefully, the planned developments on the other side of Market Street will be enlarged to compensate https://t.co/GEEN4OH8XM

Another note about sanitation in Barcelona. There are big receptacles on the streets for different types of trash and recycling. Instead of having one trash day where tons of bags are thrown out on the curb, people put their trash in these any time they want

In Barcelona, you'll frequently find sanitation teams not only sweeping, but also hosing down the sidewalk at night. Boy could we use this in Philly

Nice parklet in Barcelona. Easy and inexpensive way to make wide intersections more pedestrian friendly and to create cool public spaces. Need more of this in Philly

Mercedes Benz Arena in Berlin. Surrounded by restaurants, shops, offices, apartments, hotels, and even a mall. So much more energy here than a parking lot and this was around noon on a Tuesday. Great case study for a Center City Philadelphia arena @76Place
