It happened! Cultural heritage was restored as a Global Goal on Adaptation theme - w ref to local, traditional & Indigenous knowledge as well. This is a win for science & helps put the GGA on a more holistic, locally led & just basis. Thanks to all who did this! #CultureatCOP27

"We're finding it increasingly necessary to set explicit boundaries about what the design system does and doesn't do. And where we've landed is that design systems handle everything related to common interface patterns." — @brad_frost

BREAKING & BIG: California Governor @GavinNewsom has just signed AB2097 which removes parking minimums statewide in transit-served areas. It’s being called the most sweeping statewide parking reform in US history. @DonaldShoup & others championed it. Well done. #ThePowerOfParking

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?
