COVID-19 turned city streets into pop-up restaurants. What if we didn’t go back? 🤔 @ewawestermark of @citiesforpeople asks why we accept being crowded out by cars on city streets. Ewa's colleague, @BlaineMerker, says we need to build cities around human connection.

Extremely happy with the outcome of the second @deepcutsindeed. @nancybaym, @ewawestermark & @MariaBergius nailed it and I think not using slides in a chapel was a good decision. All 3 talks are now available with a contextualizing text by yours truly -> medium.com/deep-cuts-stories…

80% of our cities' open spaces are streets. If #urbanplanning is to contribute to healthier lifestyles, the rules of the street need to change. Is your city taking action to make cities healthier? Tell us how! @WCS_2018 @citiesdiabetes @c40cities @gehlinstitute #CitiesForPeople
