@JohnSurico Suburbia is full of LTNs, no? https://t.co/22m0oAvjBj

1. The divide between central Paris (2m) and the Paris beyond the ring-road (10m). These pieces always cover the former, never the latter.
2. The parallel expansion of PT, e.g. Grand Paris Express, 5 light rail lines.
3. The role of activists, communities and civil society. (2/2)

[Aris Moro @arisbmoro]

The numbers behind Paris's ongoing transformation into a cycling city are astonishing. 72% of on-street parking removed. 20,000 shared bikes, 30% electric. >500km of cycle lanes.

However, at least 3 things are missing from these stories focusing on Hidalgo and her legacy. (1/2)

@tootingnewsie @TfL @balhamnewsie @HealthyTooting @tttooting @DrRosena @wandbc @TootingTown @Wandscyclist @TootingMarket @bwmarkettooting @StGeorgesTrust Great news! The pics above don't do justice to the current mess that is CS7 from Balham to Broadway. Cars, vans, lorries parked in the blue paint and anyone on a bike having to weave through dangerous traffic. The ban on left turns along the route is particularly welcome.

[Aris Moro @arisbmoro]

@JohnSurico Possibly. I think the issue is balancing leisure trips with commuter trips. You could do Battersea to Greenwich in 30 mins, with few stops, but then you'd miss out on the fares from the multiple stops in central London.

@A_W_Gordon @JohnSurico @FeargusOSull Aaron, recommend reading anything by Dar��o Hidalgo or Paola Castañeda. WRI writes often about LatAm urban issues (TheCityFix), otherwise https://t.co/SvMlABS6gt is a blog on the topic (in Spanish)

A little thread on cycling in London. The experience of a 45 year old, overweight woman - ie me (inspiration provided by @peterwalker99 in his article this morning) ...

[Aris Moro @arisbmoro]

This is potentially a great initiative. Reserving judgment until a full plan is released, beyond a press release targeting international media. Also note that the congestion charge in Milan is currently suspended.

[Aris Moro @arisbmoro]

This article by @niamh_mcintyre expresses what all those who cycle in London must be currently thinking. The city is perfect for cycling and cycling is a liberating experience.

@n_panozzo @PaoloVani @paolodeluca72 @francis_rojo_ @giuseppegrezzi @casullo_lo Completamente d’accordo. Se cambi l’autocertificazione continuamente, puoi cambiare anche le direttive. Non vedo, in Italia, misure anti-auto (riduzione limiti) come invece vedo misure anti-bici. Non capisco come incentivi per tutti ad usare l’auto possano essere giustificati.

[Aris Moro @arisbmoro]

@francis_rojo_ @giuseppegrezzi @n_panozzo @casullo_lo A Londra hanno sospeso Congestion Charge e ULEZ. La gestione dei parcheggi è fatta dai municipi, che hanno risposto in maniera differente: credo che la maggioranza abbiano resistito misure come quelle di Roma.

It's not 2018 anymore and electric scooters made headlines for the wrong reasons in 2019. In 2020, they will likely be provided by fewer companies, face adaptive regulations, are shape-shifting and are gearing up for a fight over data (h/t @mslaurabliss) https://t.co/ciEUF532Gm

Well put @indiablock: 'Bin help to buy, scrap tax on retrofits, make section 106 non-negotiable, get councils hiring more in-house architects and prioritise local and resident-led housing schemes. To get a beautiful city, you need beautiful ideals as well as buildings.'
