What a tragic contrast in the USA. Brave hispanic women die trying to save kids, while gutless Republican men would rather see dead children than lose a single gun voter. The families of Ulvalde should make the NRA Houston attendees walk past their children's coffins #GunSenseNow

Canadian banks are some of the biggest global funders of the climate catastrophe. This guy is doing the right thing.

@charlesincities @DouglasTodd thank you @charlesincities. With full respect to @michaelgeller I 100% get that there are different cultural norms around the issue of privacy. The issue is NOT that we should expect to "adapt to local norms" - its more that the local norm is actually to block out windows.

Few things are more opposite to Jane Jacob's philosophy of “eyes on the street” than perpetually closed window blinds, shutters & curtains. They are everywhere in North America, incl. #Vancouver #Vanre #vanpoli #BCpoli Thanks @jbhaden. #housing #crime https://t.co/g9Du1Xc8y0

“As a country, we have punched under our weight, in design terms,” @jbhaden says. “We need to find more opportunities to represent Canadian democracy visually and spiritually.”

Kicking off Human Studio's Twitter feed with a piece that we worked on with @RWJF What’s Next Health. This 5 Questions post introduces our FLUID Sociability software project, and how Human Studio is working to reduce #socialisolation through #architecture. https://t.co/Oxd5DwsJgB

Hi all - I have been AWOL on Twitter because social media just does not feed my soul - but I know that's not true for all and I HAD to retweet this from the awesome @BrentToderian

If you like books on better cities, here’s a new offering that just arrived from 3 friends of mine, on the interesting concept of “Urban Magnets.” Haven’t read it yet, but looking forward to. Congrats @JBHaden @markstrategy @UrbanIrvine.

Thanks @jen_keesmaat - It was great to bike around our 'hood with you!

[Jennifer Keesmaat @jen_keesmaat]

Gorgeous gentle density, Vancouver. Six 800 sq foot homes (stacked), with a shared backyard for all of the families to use. Easily achievable on many lots in many cities that are currently reserved for one detached home. Sadly, few cities allow this. Even here, it was a fight!

I feel lucky to host the "Planning West Coast Cities" session tonight on behalf of the @urbanarium. And I want to acknowledge we did not do a great job with respect to diversity. We will touch on this tonight.
