Such interesting presentations @theAoU today. Thinking of Streets in COVID-19 and beyond. Let's keep putting pedestrians and cyclists at the forefront of our minds for movement around our cities and towns #childfriendlycities #community #neighbourhoods #urbanismlunchhour

How might the politics of new housing look if all of it was this good - with public interventions via planning merely insisting on the types of homes & places which people prefer & in which they flourish?
Might we, whisper it, create more new homes?
Well done @ADAMarchitectur

What does a “quarter hour city” mean? A #Paris that’s even more dense, mixed & connected. How? Wider sidewalks. New 100% bike streets. School yards become weekend gardens. Intersections reinvented as neighborhood squares. Car parking converted into bike parking. And MUCH more.

Successful incidental play in the centre of Southampton. Just need more on the actual high street... @Westquay @SouthamptonCC @createstreets #childfriendlycities

Le Marais district in Paris.
Le Corbusier wanted to “clear it away”. “Our world, like a charnel house is strewn with the detritus of dead epochs.”
Silly man.

@Streetfilms Doesn't really liven up the street scene though does it...? Could they not be filled planters with flowers? Create a green Street, some seats to stop and enjoy the lack of cars?

Look at this street. Are you telling me you wouldn’t love to have streets like this in your neighbourhood? When Amsterdam removed 11,200 parking spaces, they made room for the kinds of things that make this street great. Via @Cycling_Embassy @createstreets trouw.nl/binnenland/ams…
