This Spanish city has been car-free for 19 years. 12k people have moved into the city centre since the ban. The Mayor says vehicles don’t have more right to public space than people — & he’s been re-elected 4 times since banning cars. Pontevedra via @WEF:

Hello twitter friends, please allow me to offer a weekend thread on how the WAR ON MOTORISTS works in the mainstream media. Remember this story from back in May? It got VERY wide coverage across a range of media outlets: LTNs help violent criminals escape the police 1/n

I'm a big fan of good design, but why are we designing EV charging infrastructure for our pavements? The default should be in the road or even better in existing car parks and fuel stations. @grantshapps healthy and inclusive streets have uncluttered pavements.

The UK has always excelled in producing iconic designs for its public infrastructure- from postboxes & telephone boxes to buses & signage 🇬🇧 So, as we look to the future, I’m launching a design competition for an electric vehicle charge point that will stand the test of time 👇
