Traditionally our sidewalks and #publicspace were designed based on Fruin's 'Level of Service' in Japan but now we need to rely on Edward Hall's #proxemics theory. #Socialspace with 3.6m (12 feet) is good to interact with our neighbors. #streetdeisgn #placemaking #socialdistance

From sumo to sushi, matcha to mochi - Japanese culture is having a massive moment in London 🇯🇵

Here in Tokyo, I'm building relationships that will help bring new investment into London, support innovation - and create opportunities for Londoners across the capital.

From sumo to sushi, matcha to mochi - Japanese culture is having a massive moment in London.

I’m in Tokyo to forge new partnerships which will deliver innovation, jobs and growth for our two capitals for generations to come.

Hitting every green light? Not magic. Signal timing.

We're expanding Green Wave corridors, allowing cyclists & drivers traveling around 15 mph to catch successive greens.

Reduces red light running, improves safety, and has little impact on daytime traffic speeds.

We're not taking lanes from traffic.

We're giving them back to people.

Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza is getting a long-overdue redesign to prioritize the needs of pedestrians and cyclists over the cars just passing through.

[NYC DOT @NYC_DOT]

Safer, smarter streets start at the curb.

Our new Office of Curb Management will modernize how curb space is used citywide by reducing double parking, designating pick-up/drop-off areas, reducing congestion, and improving safety for all road users.

このレイアウト（にドア開け・乗降の余白を加えたもの）はオランダやデンマークでは何十年も前から普通で、21世紀に入りNYCが北米での実装をリードした、parking-protected bike laneと呼ばれるものです。日本では品川で最初に社外実験があり、白山の整備が続きましたが、ドアゾーン余白の欠如が問題。
