It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood

Just stop and think about this for a minute — what if YOUR city transformed a key main street this coming summer (like Montreal did with #MontRoyal, actually one of TEN such street transformations last summer) into a 2.5km long pedestrian promenade & living room with 2700 seats?

Groningen, the world’s cycling capital, is getting even better.
It shows that main squares don’t need to be grey and monotonous. Grote Markt is about to become a lovely, green and attractive place for people of all ages.

Stockholm’s 🇸🇪 1-Minute-City is about so much more than traffic calming.

It’s about nurturing social cohesion by putting human interactions back at the centre of communities and developing the full potential of streets👇�

A near perfect street in Valencia.

Tree lined, narrow street with buildings right up to the property line in a variety of styles, but all at a human scale, and some with commercial uses on the ground floors.

This is a street for people!

This is within 10 feet of someone’s front door. We just let cars do this, everywhere

Imagine if every pedestrian in your city wore a huge, polluting, space & energy-consuming exo-skeleton to get around? How much space would we need to accommodate that?

It’s not hard to imagine — most cities are designed on that assumption.

I wish Zillow allowed comments on house listings. I just KNOW they would go so hard.

Sylvester Stallone says he wants to make a movie about classical music.

He says, “I will be Beethoven.”

Jean Claude Van Damme says, “I’ll be Mozart.”

Arnold Schwarzenegger said, “C’mon guys, don’t make me…”

NEW: Copenhagen’s new plan will replace 600 out of 1,050 public parking spaces in their city centre with wider sidewalks, bike-lanes, street trees & landscaping. That’s a great trade. Inspiring when great cities are still getting better. HT @StockholmCyclo

We KNOW that actually achieving better city-making outcomes will take rethinking our outdated priorities & choices. Just think about what we could create in our cities, if we rethought all those lanes (& all that budget) used for cars. HT @Urbanthoughts11

READ THIS: You don’t improve city life just by removing something (cars). You do it by putting wonderful things for people where the cars used to be. Read #Oslo’s “Car-Free” Livability Program (it’s not really car-free, but there are a lot fewer of them):
