Popular perception often shapes how we engage with urban policy and view actors involved in urban development. In this video, @mnolangray explores the trope of ‘the dastardly developer - forever ruining cities and hiking rents’ youtu.be/dIjskDtki8A #popculture #urbanism

.@Bijalb_15 elaborates on how infrastructure and access to services affects physical and financial health of urban poor, perpetuating women’s unpaid labour Do check this thread & entire piece by @aditimurti for @citizenmatters @WIEGOGLOBAL @hnsa_2016 @City_Collab @JanhaviDave
Citizen Matters@citizenmatters

For poorer women in informal settlements in our cities, homes are most often their workspaces. It is access to essential life services like electricity and water that determines their working conditions and productivity. A look at what 'work from home' means to them🧵

Of course, all else is never equal! This the most compelling counterargument: that there are inevitable tradeoffs between drivability, walkability, and other aspects of livability. They're hard tradeoffs.

So, let me clarify and correct this tweet. 1. Cities should be designed taking into account the immense value of cars, but not “designed for cars” or “around cars”, if that is taken to mean excluding other things we want to optimize for… twitter.com/jasoncrawford/…
Jason Crawford@jasoncrawford

Cities should absolutely be designed around cars! Not as an exclusive consideration, but as one of the top considerations. A city that is unfriendly to cars is a bad city.
