Communities doing it for themselves … in partnership

Excited to open the door to the new BCA book exchange on Barnes Green which was an idea of Alex, a local young activist who wishes to share her passion for books. A new lease of life for an old #HammersmithBridge sentry box which was converted & installed by our Men’s Shed Team.

Making a splash! Fun for all ages in historic #Richmond upon Thames - showing what a town centre can and should be when people are put Centre Stage @LBRUT @richmondsociety

Fantastic #placemaking initiative by @LBRUT listening to locals and giving over Richmond town centre for people to breathe in the atmosphere, connect & enjoy - have a great day everybody!

So rewarding leading today’s @theAoU walk from Mortlake to @ChiswickFlowers Market - a privilege to meet community & environmental champions & see a plethora of projects showcasing transformational local action that brings communities together @BCA4Barnes @barnes_common

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen, was filled with cars until a 2 year pedestrian pilot project in 1962. Opponents argued “no cars means no business,” but the street has been a huge success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

@BrentToderian @TfL @urbanthoughts11 … similarly cycle parking is more efficient by a similar quantum leaving more space for affordable homes, business & community space and public realm.

A bike-lane moved 2.5X as many people as a regular traffic lane in a @TFL study, & given that they are half the width, the study concluded that bike-lanes are 5X as efficient as vehicle traffic lanes. HT @urbanthoughts11 Mobility in cities is about space.

Housing built after the advent of the car doesn't need to be designed around the car. Consider the Weespergilde in Weesp—a suburb 20km outside Amsterdam—which consists of seven car-free blocks and 42 homes including single family, starter apartments, maisonettes and townhouses.🧵
