@CityLab @yating_liu ‘s title is Director not “czar”. I look forward to media outlets - especially those focused on urban and civic issues - moving away from describing important public servants in terms of Russian monarchs.

In his approach to disability and urban design “Gissen . . . focuses on variety and customizability, rather than efforts to please everyone all at once with one generic paradigm”

[New York Magazine @NYMag]

Designer, historian, and Parsons professor @davidgissen imagines an urban environment that would do more than grudgingly accommodate people who can’t see or walk or hear, or who have cognitive impairments. @JDavidsonNYC writes https://t.co/M6xzT2qjwY

"How we currently design our cities & towns to prioritize private cars over people reduces our mobility options + creates problems for the planet’s climate, societal equity & household budgets" @benjiedlp @SharedUseCenter

Let's build cities for people!🙌

“a phenomenon wherein the number of bicyclists/pedestrians on a road is higher, and consequently, the risk of each bicyclist/pedestrian being involved in a crash is lower”

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

Is there "safety-in-numbers" for those cycling and walking?

Researchers: "Results clearly revealed a lower proportion of severe injuries caused to bicyclists/pedestrians at a higher level of daily bicycle/pedestrian flows."

In other words: YES

Most building industry professionals are aware of the "redlined" district maps of 1934-40, but few understand how deep and lasting their many ill effects are. Join us Jan 18 for an intro lecture, then for a series of 5 participatory roundtable discussions: https://t.co/8m4r1vzJKd

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

The answer? 45 districts.

Let’s end spatial inequity and make it easier to walk, bike, and take transit in every corner of New York City.
