If we want more people to walk, walking needs to be a dignified experience. Here's a good litmus test: If you were driving and saw your buddy Henry walking, would you think:
- Poor Henry, his car must be broken *or*
- Look, there's Henry, out for a nice walk 1/

Paris is in the middle of a plan to transform into a 100% cycling city. They are also poised to introduce “pedestrian hearts” in each district, inspired by Barcelona’s superblocks, reserving areas for pedestrians, cyclists & public transport. @MomentumMag momentummag.com/paris-to-sho…

In a 1972 study, Donald Appleyard showed how traffic rates influence social interactions & friendships.
People living on heavy traffic streets;
0.9 Friends
3.1 acquaintances
People living on light traffic streets;
3.0 friends

Prioritize people over traffic.

Imagine banning such cute apartments for no good reason 😭
We can't wait to advocate for more homes for all of us!
Our communities will be more diverse, our homes will be less expensive, and the aesthetic will be top-tier. We call that a win 😆

Many people are under the mistaken impression that Europe was somehow never as car-centric as the US, and has always been magically car-free. Truth is, cities like Amsterdam and Paris made a dedicated effort to give their cities back to the people. #transportation #urbanmobility
Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."
This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s, via @fietsprofessor.
The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.
Better choices instead of excuses.

Unleasing the potential of these two “obsolete” technologies is our best bet at addressing the converging climate, health, resource, and inequity crises.
