Post-carbon cities will help us have more resilient, #sustainable and yes, inclusive #cities. Because development should never divide us, but serve to reduce the inequalities present in our cities.
Thank you #GreenfirmKE for this timely discussion.

A 21-year-old student in India’s Madhya Pradesh, popularly known as ‘Bittu Tabahi’, has single-handedly cleaned up a trash-filled river.

Despite ridicule, health risks and limited resources, his efforts have transformed the waterway and prompted government action.

One reason I suspect mental health issues are now so prevalent is because kids are not out in their neighbourhoods with other kids, unsupervised by adults. Climbing trees, playing football, making forts, getting in arguments/sorting them out, finding insects etc. Instead they are at home looking at screens because parents think that's "safer". It isn't. https://t.co/xDnahwu9Xu

No shot is worth your life.

Railway tracks are not a photoshoot location—they’re restricted, unpredictable, and dangerous. Protect yourself, your crew and your clients by keeping a safe distance.

Let’s create responsibly and promote safety together.

“God never uses sin to accomplish what He needs to accomplish.”

God created love. He created marriage. He created intimacy. And because He designed it, He alone knows how to heal it, restore it and bless it. Don’t let the world define what only God has the authority to redeem.

This is what it means to have an inclusive and sustainable transport system! There's no replacement for proper urban planning and an intentionality when it comes to having safer cities and roads. It is simply not a matter of luck.
