We can chose to change that in December 2021 and throughout 2022 & hence change the course of the pandemic. Or we can keep doing the same things & we get the same result - a continued cycle of variants & pandemic waves. We have a choice.

[Jeremy Farrar @JeremyFarrar]

For 18 months many have warned the pandemic would be more protracted, with a greater chance new variants, further waves, more deaths, more disruptive, greater economic costs, if the world did not equitably share all the tools. We made that mistake in 2020 & 2021.

Big thanks to @HighStreetsTF for adding the #RethinkRePlace #TacticalUrbanism toolkit to their library.

There are absolutely loads of useful and important #placemaking tools to help our high streets get back to health beyond #Covid19 on their website 💪

Really excited to share the release of our tactical urbanism toolkit, developed following the Rethink Re:Place festival week!

It’s been rewarding to receive positive feedback from the Virtual Policy Hackathon that I facilitated with @AlexRob79227869 and @NewUnion_org recently!

"I found it dynamic and well-structured, and particularly appreciated having some interactive activities"

[Verity Parkin @ParkinVerity]

We've loved seeing responses to our children’s placemaking lesson! Making these ideas accessible to a young audience is challenging but necessary if public space design is to address the needs of all citizens. Access the lesson here:
