"In Malta, in Cyprus, in St Kitts, the same architecture has produced the same outcomes. A small country needs revenue. Henley provides a ready-made programme. The programme operates for several years generating fees on both sides. A scandal breaks, a journalist is assassinated, an EU body intervenes. The programme is suspended, restructured, or shut down. The host country has to deal with the reputational damage while Henley moves on to the next contract."

They engineered cycle paths for transit. The students used them for dating🚴♂️❤️ When urban planners designed the cycling networks around Utrecht University, they expected heavy commuter traffic. What they didn’t expect was how deeply the bicycle would integrate into student nightlife, romance, and socialising. As Transport Planner Herbert Tiemens shares during our ride, this social behaviour was completely "out of syllabus" for the city's original master plan! But instead of fighting it, the Dutch planners did something remarkable: they adapted. They designed wider cycle paths to safely accommodate side-by-side riding and late-night social bonding. It’s proof that top-tier infrastructure should bend to the human experience-not the other way around. Could you imagine our university zones and college campuses designed to encourage safe, active, and social mobility like this? 🎥 The countdown is on: Discover the human side of urban design in the World Premiere of 'All About Dutch Cycling' this World Bicycle Day (June 3rd) at 6:30 PM IST / 3:00 PM CET on Pedal and Tring Tring. 🔗 Set your YouTube Premiere reminder using the below link. youtu.be/jq93DgLvmFc #AllAboutDutchCycling #PedalAndTringTring #DutchCycling #WorldBicycleDay #YouTubePremiere #UrbanPlanning #HumanCentricDesign #UtrechtUniversity #OutofSyllabus #CyclingCulture #StudentsRomance #GenZLove #BikesForStudents #SocialBehaviour #insta360

How is laying to waste mangroves in protected areas going to increase resilience of cities?

According to Spokesperson @mundhu_maldives , Minister @aleeshareef assured him that the feedback of people living in the area had been taken into account before the rezoning and downsizing of the Eidhigali Kilhi and Koattey (Addu Nature Park) Protected Area. He also said that these were the most important stakeholders to talk to.
Okay.
So where is the feedback, then? Where are the consultation reports? Why were none of the public’s comments included in the gazetted amendment? Why wasn’t the rationale and reasoning made clear from the outset? Why have @MoEnvmv and @aleeshareef not responded in spite of us asking these questions since day one? Why has the Minister ignored all of our posts seeking accountability and information?
And most importantly, who exactly was consulted?
Who are these stakeholders the Minister claims to have spoken to if even the elected councillors at @AdduCityCouncil were excluded from the process?
Let us also be very clear. PTV is not some unrelated NGO appearing out of nowhere to make a ruckus. We are FROM Addu. PTV includes members from the very area in question. Both in an individual capacity and a collective one, we are part of the stakeholder group you claim is “most important” to consult.
No one we know was consulted.
So who did you speak to? Is it just the same small circle of politically-aligned people again? We expected people like President @Muizzu and @aleeshareef to understand how representativeness and sample sizes actually work.
And don’t think we don’t know. Unless there are “state secrets” involved, we know very well what’s happening both on-site and behind the scenes. We know this project is being pushed by someone with no mandate or capacity to represent the voice of the people. But let us quote him directly to say that “Addu’s development is not constituency-based, but holistic.” So why the change in tune now?
The stakeholders the Ministry may or may not have spoken to cannot claim ownership over a natural asset belonging to all of Addu simply because it falls within their side of an imaginary administrative boundary. The “tharaqqeege masakkah” (code for destructive land reclamation) cannot suddenly become constituency-focused if Addu’s development is supposedly “holistic”.
The impacts of destroying such a critical ecological reserve will not be localised. Climate change doesn’t care about constituency borders.

We reject the comment by Spokesperson @mundhu_maldives suggesting that “some people” advocating for environmental protection may not have considered the “human environment.” This is a very reductive claim, and his remarks about needing to find a balance between environmental protection and sustainable development are both entirely baseless and confusing.
If this assertion was fed to him by the Environment Minister @aleeshareef, then we are genuinely at a point where the Minister’s qualifications for the job and his understanding of his own mandate deserves scrutiny.
Sustainable development IS environmental conservation. It already includes considerations for what you call the “human environment.” What exactly is sustainable about SUSTAINABLE development once you take out the environment.
This is exactly what the organisations, movements, and activists in this sector have been advocating for years. We aren’t fighting to protect the environment because we have nothing better to do. It is not us, but you, who continue to ignore the interrelationship between humans and the environment - and the countless ways that ecological protection relates to “human development”.
Frankly, it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand the “balance” that both you and the Minister keep talking about, especially when the version of “balance” championed on international forums is the complete opposite of what is being practiced back home.

Dhivehi Translation: Open letter from civil society organisations and local tourism actors for the urgent attention of President Dr. Muizzu, concerning the recent downsizing and rezoning of the Eidhigali Kilhi and Koattey (Addu Nature Park) Protected Area - likely done to facilitate continued acts of ecocide at Moolekede Fishimathi, Hithadhoo.

Cancelled the subscription. Embracing piracy instead.
Turns out “digital transformation” in the Maldives means people can’t even pay for basic software anymore without going through back channels. Incredible work @MMuizzu.

so you agree that roads are unsafe for kids? only if we could do something about that, instead of getting kids trained/brain washed on 4 wheelers on pedestrian only kids play areas 🤔 the irony

Aischath Imthi 🍉@imthischal
@UKatheeb @playdenworld Ur suggestion is to force the kids on to oncoming traffic? There are no safe spaces for kids here. And I highly doubt any adult views these 4-wheeled toys or bikes or scooters as actual “vehicles”. Let the kids enjoy but with proper adult supervision for other kids’ safety.

@aleeshareef’s idea of resilient islands is to strip away our natural buffers against the effects of climate change and then line our shores with imported boulders…?
Also, when confronted about this idiotic project at Moolekede Fishimathi, political activists from the ruling party talk about how mangroves being replaced by reclaimed land will solve the issue of saltwater intrusion. No credible party at @MoEnvmv with even the slightest clue about our environment and its systems would agree with this. So, while the government plans to spend so much money piping desalinated water to households in islands, why is there a policy mismatch for the households near Fishimathi?

@aleeshareef already ignored our concerns as @ClimateEnvoyMV back when we first raised our concerns about the reclamation in Hithadhoo Moolekede Fishimathi last year.
Seems like it’s easy for him to do the same as Environment Minister as well. Different title, same morals!

Wait, we’re a little confused.
Is @aleeshareef the Minister of Environment? Going by this article, he might actually be the Minister of Compromise!

Another big lie.
They never want the best socioeconomic benefit. If they did, they would actually talk to the people and carry out a proper assessment before undertaking these projects instead of the top-down, unilateral decision-making they currently champion.
Why hasn’t the @MoEnvmv sat down with any group raising their concerns about projects impacting the environment? Why haven’t they properly discussed any with the public?
The only dire need they’re actually addressing is the ambitions of politicians, and their need to sacrifice the environment.

You can’t make this up!
Minister of Climate Change, Environment and Energy, @aleeshareef thinks we have to choose between housing and the environment.
Has he never heard of sustainable development? Does he understand the advocacy of @UNDPMaldives for the UN SDGs? Or are those just for when he goes abroad to speak at forums about sustainable development?
Do we also have to make the same mistakes as “developed” countries? Why can’t we learn from their mistakes? Is it a must for us to destroy our environment as they have done?
