Curious to see what the HU presidency of the EU holds for cities: @URBACT summarised the presidency’s urban policy priorities, let’s see if “family-friendly cities” can be translated into real urban actions (ie. 15m cities) or remains a culture war call urbact.eu/whats-new/news/new…
“Every great city needs some element of disorder, or at least of the eccentric or the atavistic, to temper its arrangements. I mean dis-order as against un-order, as being dis-interested differs from being un-interested.” Jan Morris: Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere
“For the past three years, about twenty-two per cent of office space in New York has gone unrented—that’s a hundred million vacant square feet, the equivalent of nearly thirty-five Empire State Buildings.” via @NewYorker newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…
“Urban theorists describe a phenomenon called “doom loop”: workers stop filling up downtown offices, the stores and restaurants that serve them close, which makes the area even emptier. And who wants to work somewhere with no services?” @NewYorker newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…
“Academic freedom is an understanding, not a law (…) It has to be asserted and defended. That’s why it’s so disheartening that leaders of great universities appear reluctant to speak up for the rights of independent inquiry and free expression.” newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

A Paris, « la fréquentation des pistes cyclables s’y est envolée, jusqu’à doubler entre 2022 et 2023 aux heures de pointe. Une tendance, enclenchée en 2019 lors des grèves de transports en commun puis en 2020 lors du déconfinement » via @lemondefr lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/art…
“We have a commercial subsidiary in Paris which has put €200m into managing retail areas in the city with rates below the speculative real estate market. This is specifically to rent to small shops, artisans, bakeries, bookstores.“ @CarlosMorenoFr theguardian.com/cities/2024/…
