Professor Gehl talks about "cities that are sweet to their people." As we fully digest the impacts that #Covid19 has had on us all, we desperately need to see and feel humanity reasserting itself in our urban spaces.

@yung_rrich @thomasforth Leave that one with me Robert - I'll ask around. There's a DFT email address that might be worth a punt on this page though?

Very interesting soft test of a future without a central motorway

@ReRead2021 Can barely believe Newcastle didn't score?

@yung_rrich @djjmilner Lovely stuff Robert - thanks for sharing!

[Urban XPC @UrbanXPC]

@ReRead2021 No, I'm actually in Stockholm, but enjoy it ;)

@ReRead2021 Our very own Professor C has written on this very topic. I was discussing it with him only last week.

@NewcastleCC hello. I'm trying to register for council tax but your address search facility won't work and I can't enter it manually either.

I know not everyone shares my view that we should welcome migrants and give safe passage to #refugees, & be proud to do so. But plenty of people do, and we need a party to vote for that will represent us. I've just written to my MP @_OliviaBlake - perhaps you'll write to yours?

Glasgow subway appreciation post

[Melissa & Chris Bruntlett @modacitylife]

With their cycle tracks bursting at the seams, many Dutch cities are moving onto the next level, and handing over entire streets to cyclists.

On Utrecht’s Voorstraat, a separated lane was removed in favor of a ‘bicycle street’, where cars retain access but are treated as guests.

Brilliant tour of the Victoria Tunnel @iloveouseburn this morning.

Professor Joshua Bamfield: "Rather than company failure, rationalisation now seems to be the main driver for closures as retailers continue to reduce their cost base at pace." 2023 will be another tough year for our high streets. The need for #Rightsizing is now pressing.
