This is the kind of long term street reorganization that leads to more human 'places' in the Urban core. These kinds of changes can even start with more temporary tactical urbanism approaches if cost is a barrier.

Beautiful transformation in Makati, Philippines. This street is now safer for people walking, rolling, and driving alike due to simple infrastructure changes designed to slow motor vehicles.

This portable #solarFarm unfolds from a shipping container making it possible to bring #solar to even the most remote location.

Madrid is building a huge forest belt around the city. 74km, half a million trees to fight extreme heat, air pollution & climate change.

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t.

It took leadership.

Farmers in Kenya are using #solarpower to improve crop yields. The panels help reduce heat stress, reduce water loss, grow larger crops and cut energy bills.

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

The Gabriel Garcia Marquez Library just opened in a working class neighborhood in Barcelona. It’s magical. It’s real. And it’s the kind of place that makes you wonder why every city doesn’t give its residents palaces for the people. #library

"Urbanism works when it creates a journey as desirable as the destination."

[Brent Bellamy @brent_bellamy]

If your bike lane has enough traffic that someone decides they want to open a shop and start selling things along it, you have done something very right.

Retweeting to watch later! Videos to help visualize climate science, maybe of interest to you too?

[Catie Hausman, mostly on bsky @CatieHausman]

Planning your climate or environment syllabus? I like to show short videos so students & I can visualize some of the things we're talking about. Here are just some of the ones I like:
