[Progressive City: Radical Alternatives @pcityradical]

What does it mean to be a “progressive” or “radical” planner? And what kind of power do planners have to enact change?

The #PlannersNetwork Disorientation Guide attempts to orient folks new to the field of urban and regional planning to ideas, concepts, and practices linked to progressive or radical planning traditions.

Reimagined 20 years after its first iteration, the Disorientation Guide features a range of articles, interviews, and excerpts sourced from progressive planning academics and practitioners. In addition, the guide includes additional resources with links to grassroots organizations, non-profits, and academic research groups involved in progressive city-building practices.

It is our hope that this guide can help to inspire positive ways forward amid present challenges and offer a lens into the kinds of alternative visions and practices that planning can be.

Q: Do engineering instructors teach induced travel?

A: Some do. Most don't. Lots of different reasons.

Many said they would teach it IF there were teaching materials. So I shared mine (link below) Feel free to use, modify, + share.

@dlknowles @ABRAMSbooks @JeffSpeckFAICP @yfreemark @VeronicaODavis @TamikaButler @martynschmoll @IslandPress @HTinWDC @humantransit The table of contents for this new @IslandPress book “When Driving Is Not An Option: Steering Away From Car Dependency” by @AnnaZivarts looks both interesting and important. Looking forward to diving in — has anyone out there finished it yet? #UrbanismBookClub

Fascinating academic paper on the massive costs imposed by cars this past century.

“We find that …cars … have killed 60–80 million people and injured at least 2 billion.”

Thanks to @Nerd4Cities @greg_shill @letspropelatl for their work in this area.

New open access article with @TimSchwanen from my postdoc at @TSUOxford! Here we explore community transport, which we posit as operating at the intersection of informality and an ethics of care

New Johns Hopkins report finds that narrower street lanes are safer.

For roads with 30-35 mph speed limits, 10-12 ft lanes "have a significantly higher number of crashes compared to those with 9 ft lanes."

In @voxdotcom, I explained why Norway’s “EV miracle” is a cautionary tale.

Eye-popping subsidies have spurred electric car sales -- but they've also widened inequality and undermined transit/biking.

EV incentives are not a panacea. 🧵

In @Spacing I reflect on Toronto's cycling network priorities & mayor Chow's strategic choices:

Back in 2021 I was lucky enough to teach The History and Geography of Cycles and Cycling at @geo_uoft with the most incredible students. We adapted course-based reflections into a collective autoethnography – and after over 2 years, this work was published in Mobilities!
