Amazingly thoughtful work at the Australian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale by Creative Directors BarracoWright + Linda Tegg. I’m humbled to be part of the Creative Team and to have worked with them the past year. Amazing people, amazing experience.

Urban Analytics Geek alert! A few hours ago Australia (theoretically) reached and passed a population of 27 million people...now back to work #cities Population clock and pyramid | Australian Bureau of Statistics (abs.gov.au)

What a pleasure to ride the light rail for the first time with one of its key architects: Danish urbanist Jan Gehl! Big ideas change cities, and I am proud of the city Sydney has become through a bold vision, and careful, considered planning. bit.ly/JanGehlSydney

Today, I introduced my Voter Protections in Political Advertising Bill. Voters of all persuasions overwhelmingly support political advertising being held to the same standards as commercial advertising. #auspol #stopthelies

Building smaller homes should mean a move away from 250m2 detached houses… …not a move towards 22m2 apartments amp-theguardian-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.thegua…

If he says the Voice is a simple advisory body and she says it can veto government decisions and can take control of parliament, it is not your job to quote them both. It is your job to take a look at reality and tell your audience which is true (and that she is lying).

On paper, “Superblocks” are modest interventions; simple traffic filters that reclaim a fraction of the 60% of Barcelona’s land mass dedicated to the movement and storage of cars. In reality, they are nothing short of a triumph; the results totally justifying the grandiose name.

@urbanizationist Love this - a nation's economic complexity in your pocket

Tradle in 1!

The simple fact that over 80% of Aboriginal people support the Voice is not reported in News Corp coverage. It’s obvious why they leave this info out. It’s because they know well meaning, respectful Australians who hear this will absolutely vote Yes. Tell all your friends.

@Nicholas_Reece @CSL @cityofmelbourne @AlboMP Fantastic see! further establishing Melbourne as a global leader in the commercialisation of Biomedical research - and ensuring the future economic development of Victoria

A RED LETTER DAY for Australia with @CSL opening its new Global Headquarters and R&D Centre in the Biomedical Precinct in @cityofmelbourne . An amazing company exporting scientific knowhow to the world. How does Australia produce another five CSL’s?

@Nicholas_Reece Happy Guling to you @Nicholas_Reece

In the Wurundjeri calendar there are seven seasons and the month of August is a season of its own. Called Guling its marked by yellow wattle bursting into colour, orchids flowering and male koalas bellowing at night. Happy Guling!

@MatthewBoldist1 Love Newmarket as a 'minor' interchange on the way to the airport, with a Showgrounds station - much needed additional PT capacity in the fast growing Flem-Ken area

I've nervously sat on it for long enough now - Here it is! my new Melbourne Fantasy Train Map. Do your worst!

@Aurecon Amazing to have been part of this pōwhiri ceremony, for me a profound experience

Aurecon moves into new Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland home: Te Tihi, which in Te Reo Māori means ‘The Summit.' bit.ly/3B6LgY5

@_dmoser 'cars hunting for parking' is one of the scariest things as a bike rider/ pedestrian in the inner city - eyes only for a free space

The city of Pontevedra 🇪🇸 is car-free for almost 20 years. The results👇 🌬Clean Air 🚶🏻‍♀️Zero Traffic fatalities 👂🏼Silence And the mayor has been re-elected 4x since.

Build gentle density.

The future of cities is is already among us (in Barcelona 🇪🇸). 21st century urban mobility (=less cars in cities) goes hand in hand with livability👇👇

This is the start of a very timely series by @sopphie on a challenge that has eluded Melbourne planners and state governments for nearly 70 years; how and where to build a second city. theage.com.au/national/victo…

@Cycling_Embassy An issue Australian cities will need to tackle, with so many unprotected on-road bike routes 20km is likely to do more harm than good...what ever we do, we need to start talking now

Amsterdam wants to reduce the maximum speed of electric bicycles to 20 kmh. "Cycle paths are becoming busier and the speed differences on the cycle path are increasing, making it especially dangerous for children and the elderly." (Article in Dutch) nos.nl/artikel/246851…

@julianoshea Beautiful work by ARM, using the city to carry traces of history and culture

If you look up the main street in Melbourne you’ll see what looks like a face looking back at you. Here’s their story.

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.
