Never forget, multimodal streets (aka “complete streets”) are simply more efficient, because they move, hold & serve more people within the same space. Whether you think streets are just for moving people, or are for a LOT more, they’re just better. Via @NACTO #citymakingmath

Social interactions between neighbors on light traffic streets are far higher than streets where cars are dominate. So let’s build streets for communities and not cars!

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

Are your streets for cars or for people? Just because the answer is cars right now, doesn’t mean you can’t change that if you really want to. This Tel Aviv transformation before & after between 2016 and 2021 is well documented by @schlijper’s great photography. #StreetsForPeople

What does it take to move a thousand people?

Observing public spaces… how just our cities are ?

If this wasn’t ‘social engineering’ then nothing is

If you wouldn't build your house like this,
why would you build your city this way?

"Urban space is public and democratic like air and water, until it is cut up and privatized. All of us are responsible to protect the public realm.” - Elizabeth Diller (@dsrny) at the #UrbanAgeDebates.

Cities and baring crisis over crisis! Yet they are the ones who keep the wheel going. Interesting panel today! Thanks to @cmimarseille and @WBG_Cities

If you’re still wondering what a “15-Minute City” really means, at least as proposed by Paris Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo, it’s really simple.

Everything you need is available within a 15 minute walk, wheel chair or bike-ride from home.

Everything.

NOT by car trip.

Not even transit.

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

You can’t have a great city for cars and a great city for people at the same time.

You have to choose.
