#UnGlamarousSolutions: The concept of closing streets gained major traction during the #pandemic, first out of necessity and then as a result of the success – both economic and social – of embracing more pedestrian-friendly urban thoroughfares.
There’s an overwhelming desire in the U.S. for more livable and walkable cities: A 2022 survey by the American Planning Association found that 83% of Americans support the creation of more pedestrian malls in their communities. A recent study by the Urban Land Institute adds another layer to this narrative, revealing that 70% of real estate developers believe pedestrian malls will be more important in the future than they are today.

#COP28BlahBlahBlah: From Drawdown- carbon capture technologies, CCS, DAC, needs to scale up 1million X from where they are today. It’s an excuse to not implement #UnGlamarousSolutions, walkable cities, bike networks, shared mobility etc. and continue using fossil fuels. Carbon capture, a major talking point of Kerry, Saudi Arabia, CARB 2022, IRA, will not play a role in getting us to the Paris goal, and may only come into play after 2050 for the residual emissions that can't be eliminated.
