“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability and quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.

This might be the most beautiful thing I've read in my life. What a privilege to be alive in 2026.

No matter how eventful your summer has been, it can’t possibly compare to FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s. Over the past month, soccer’s arch supervillain was attending two World Cup games a day via a private jet allegedly gifted to him off the books by Qatar to preside over a bloated but massively successful tournament. He was also flying way too close to the sun, putting together an audacious scheme that may now be his undoing, writes Adam Elder.

Infantino’s descent began last week, when most of the soccer world instantly turned against him after ‘The Times’ of London revealed his secret, comically evil scheme to pimp out the World Cup. The big plan was to sell equity in the World Cup by creating a subsidiary called FIFA Forward Enterprises for investors to purchase 21 percent of the commercial rights to future tournaments, valued at $20 billion by JP Morgan. The lead investor was to be Joshua Kushner — brother of Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared. Of course, pawning off the sport’s nonprofit-run crown jewel to venture capitalists did not land well with nearly everyone involved in the game. The reaction has been swift, and the usually nimble Infantino was caught flat-footed.

This week he’s in exile from FIFA’s Swiss headquarters and holed up in Rabat, Morocco, looking like Richard III without his horse (though probably still with his plane), and the boot he may soon get won’t be golden, writes Elder.

The more I think about it, the more infuriating it is

The president of Fifa just taking it upon himself to sell off stakes of a global tournament that has no need to sell anything off

The sheer brazenness is something else

Arteta is the most lied about manager in the history of the game.

We're transforming London. Our network of Cycleways has grown from 90km to over 430km today.

And with a network of safe cycleways, cycling is booming - with an average of 1.5m trips a day.

And there's much more to come 🚲🚲🚲

@wheelreinvent @bradcliffo @daanysaeed @GolfDigestAU @GolfAust @GolfNSW Try telling that to the thousands of people who use that space from dawn till dusk 365 days a year. Surrounding areas of parkland are basically empty in comparison.
