USA: Most major cities outside of a few have almost no train service

A smart city is not measured by the amount of shiny gadgets, its data gathering novelties or its latest mobility innovations.

Instead, your city is smart when you see children cycling there autonomously, joyfully and free.

BAM! Britain’s reliance on coal-fired power ended after 140 years as the Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station closed last September.

It can be done. Dump fossil fuels. #ActOnClimate

Trains eclipsing cars on the highway is the best advertisement for rail:

Roads in cities should be:
-Smaller
-Slower
-Safer

The era of accepting stroads with 6 lanes is over.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” https://t.co/2Ahi7zBKxU

Commuting by bicycle in Belgium pays off! 1 in 6 Belgian employees commute by bike and get a bicycle allowance of €0.28/km. People cycling to work in 2024 earned an average of around €460 net per year (some as high as €810), up 20% over the past year.

Less space for cars,

Means more space for people.

Have you read this important book yet? “The 15-Minute City” by @CarlosMorenoFr on his groundbreaking work in Paris with great Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo. Honoured to be on the back cover with @Richard_Florida, @MaimunahSharif of @UNHabitat, @MarkWatts_ of @C40cities. #UrbanismBookClub

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, & most of the energy that does, moves the car, not people.

Sound efficient?
