Despite being one of the largest metropolises in the world, Tokyo offers pedestrian-friendly streets and neighborhoods, making it one of the most walkable…

About HALF of what Denver International Airport cost back in the ‘90s — just sayin’

66% of Parisians who voted* said yes to the project of turning 500 streets of Paris into green pedestrian area.

*it was a very low turn-out.

Arvind organizes "Let's walk Helsinki!" walks where a local Left candidate takes him for a stroll around an area of their choosing.

We walked in Hietalahti, Ruoholahti and Jätkäsaari for our walk!

While I was #walking to the shop this morning, I realised I didn't know if it would be open yet. Then I got curious about this, and specifically for walkers and cyclists. Do you check opening hours beforehand? Or do you just set out or make a spontaneous detour, knowing that if it turns out to be closed you've at least had some extra fresh air and exercise (so lost absolutely nothing)?
My hunch is that it's a thing, but it's a hunch only. #WalkableCity #Cycling

Stumbled onto this little delight: Frogger but in a walkable city. https://woe-industries.itch.io/frogger-walkable-city

Barcelona is also getting with the plan of a walkable city. It just makes for a better city for everyone. Well done 👏

#JeffSpeck, writing in #WalkableCity in 2012, a stark proof of how un-American #JDVance really is, the very definition of "reactionary":

' Of the 101 million households expected to take shape between
now and 2025, fully 88 percent are projected to be childless. '

Vance is a throwback caricature of a patriarch. His politics belong to the same eon as his beard. I honestly hope he singlehandedly makes beards even more unfashionable than they already are.

I'm reading the 10th Anniversary edition of #JeffSpeck's "#WalkableCity". I'm struck by the fact that he grossly misidentifies leading edge #Boomers as the parents of #Millennials.

While some are, most early Boomers are parents of #GenX. Once again, GenX is completely ignored and forgotten #LatchkeyKids. Hilarious as ever.

My mum was born in 47, my bro in 67. I was born in 68, my sis in 73. GenX is 65-81. #GenY doesn't enter the picture until Reagan & MTV.

La ville de Montréal fait un sondage sur l'urbanisme et la mobilité. Si vous voulez plus de pistes cyclables, des rues piétonnes, des intersections plus sécuritaires, c'est le temps de vous faire entendre!!

"Many speakers during a series of public hearings opposed the district policy, citing 15-minute cities as part of a global agenda. The concept has been the subject of conspiracy theories in cities around the world, including misinformation that it's a form of government takeover."

Another shot of Americans LOVING a #walkable city. Unfortunately, it's not a real city. How about we build our real cities this way?

Americans LOVE buses! Airport shuttles, hotel shuttles, resort shuttles, tour buses, ski shuttles, beach shuttles!

They can't get enough of buses when they are
- HIGH FREQUENCY
- connect places they want to be, especially WALKABLE places!!

Let's add more buses and bus routes! More public transit means less cars and less traffic!

One underrated word from Jeff Speck's #WalkableCity is "local density." The meaning is not underrated, but it's a reminder that city-wide density is misleading sometimes.
