Towards the end of his life, Warren Magnusson implored us to imagine radical democratic engagement "premised on the 'open city' rather than the closed nation".
Would that we'd heed that profoundly wise insight.

It’s actually pretty simple — great streets make great cities. If you want great streets, make them great #peopleplaces, not just places to move through. #citiesforpeople

Love this cartoon from @weisanboo.bsky.social which shows why building cities for people - not cars - helps boost businesses despite what some business owners may think. #BikeTO #BikeSky #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero #CitiesForPeople
Salut, #Mastodon!
O să fac acest #introduction în engleză ca să înțeleagă toată lumea.
I am new to Mastodon, but not to the #Fediverse. I'm usually found at @petrescatraian@libranet.de, but the node has been down for almost a week already, so I decided I would try this thing out as well. The onboarding process seems to have gone pretty smoothly so far, which is quite cool. And holly cow, I have 10000 chars here, this is nice, I love it.
I am a #Romanian dude from Bucharest who likes #photography, but also staying in touch with the latest #news about #internationalpolitics and all the events that occur on this sphere of dirt and water that we live on. I'm trying to be as neutral as possible on these events, but it doesn't mean I won't also be a bit biased sometimes, albeit mostly involuntarily.
I also like #history a lot, as I studied it in college, and lately I began having a passion for #goodurbanism and #citiesforpeople and good #publictransit. #Trains, #trams and other rolling stock is just fascinating!
Every time someone puts their bike on a vehicle rack to take advantage of a trail within 5 miles of their home, that's an urban planning failure.

A real #transport transition has little to do with electric cars and a lot to do with walking, cycling and public transport. #CitiesForPeople 💚

The first car-free community built from scratch in the US is starting to take off: 'For some, cars equal freedom, but for me, it's a restriction'

Clover Moore: Reflecting on Sydney's Transformation with Jan Gehl
> On November 15 I held a reception for Jan Gehl at Sydney Town Hall, reflecting on the journey Sydney has been on since I became Lord Mayor in 2004 and we first began working together.

Unweit unserer noch frischen neuen Bude mitten in der Stadt erstreckt sich die Kieler Strasse, eine berüchtigte Todesfalle für die Ungepanzerten unter uns. Aber nur drei Fußminuten weiter liegt ein ziemlich kleiner Park mit einem kleinen Teich. Und der sieht so aus.
Für ein Leben im urbanen Höllenloch gar nicht mal schlecht :)
“Parks are for everyone”
How to create parks that are inclusive of people of different ages, sizes, and abilities, eg parents and caregivers, teen girls, community members.

161 models of new car are too big for standard UK parking spaces. A phenomenon described as 'autobesity'
The answer is not to update car parks and roadsides to accommodate these monsters of the road, it is to ban their sale and use
There is no excuse for driving a vehicle of this size. Especially when many of the culprits are 'Chelsea Tractors' which are demonstrably more dangerous for every other road user
Kick these monsters off the road
Build it and they will come, no matter the weather or time of year
"“They still require wide roads, tire wear, they have cameras everywhere,” the organizer said of robotaxis. “It’s not just about ‘are they safer than a human driver?’ We want healthy cities that don’t require these high tech surveillance pods moving around.”"
