Ok, so this morning, I just fully learned and understood what the David Seymour bill means for Maori in Aotearoa, in taking away their rights to practice culture and govern themselves on their land.
And helll nooooo, eff that, TOITU TE TIRITI !!

In concept, Superblocks are a modest intervention: traffic filters that reclaim a tiny piece of the 60% of Barcelona’s public realm given to cars.

In reality, they’re a revelation: transforming asphalt expanses into neighbourhood plazas using paint, planters, and political will.

I’ve been on a lot of rallies & marches over the years since ‘81. Reporting from Wellies? It was the biggest, most unified & positive one ever - and the biggest change was the number of non-Māori stepping up.

Our cities do not need driverless cars.
They desperately need more car-less drivers!

@bcn_ajuntament to levy an 'amazon tax' on companies for the use of public space by delivery vehicles.

Could this push #ECOM companies to experiment with using delivery vehicles that take up less road space?

Superilla Barcelona:
Barcelona City Council presented the superblock model at the C40 cities forum in Buenos Aires.
Berlin, Vienna, Rotherdam, Bogotá and Los Ángeles have already adopted this reallocation of public space to their urban tissue. https://t.co/Qu7xRHBRPb

4/4 Another great idea of the report is the creation of a Central City Agency (CCA).
