Never forget, multimodal streets (aka “complete streets”) are simply more efficient, because they move, hold & serve more people within the same space. Whether you think streets are just for moving people, or are for a LOT more, they’re just better. Via @NACTO #citymakingmath

Social interactions between neighbors on light traffic streets are far higher than streets where cars are dominate. So let’s build streets for communities and not cars! – at Queens, NY

Are your streets for cars or for people? Just because the answer is cars right now, doesn’t mean you can’t change that if you really want to. This Tel Aviv transformation before & after between 2016 and 2021 is well documented by @schlijper’s great photography. #StreetsForPeople

If you wouldn't build your house like this, why would you build your city this way?

Cities and baring crisis over crisis! Yet they are the ones who keep the wheel going. Interesting panel today! Thanks to @cmimarseille and @WBG_Cities
We're looking forward to what @JammalReham @ozharat & @NBurbar will tell us about their municipalities’ #EconomicRecovery #Covid19 efforts to support #Refugees & locals. What is your city doing? The floor is yours tomorrow CMI/@WBG_Inclusion #InclusiveLED bit.ly/2QtgYuC

If you’re still wondering what a “15-Minute City” really means, at least as proposed by Paris Mayor @Anne_Hidalgo, it’s really simple. Everything you need is available within a 15 minute walk, wheel chair or bike-ride from home. Everything. NOT by car trip. Not even transit.

You can’t have a great city for cars and a great city for people at the same time. You have to choose.
