Things you don't see much of in Copenhagen:
Bollards
Guardrail
Phone boxes
Road signs
Lamp posts
General street clutter
Rubbish
Aggressive drivers
Tall buildings
And isn't it far more pleasant that way

READ more about the “Dare, Able, Invite” framework, which was developed by NS’ Mark van Hagen and Goudappel’s Bas Govers, who applied the Dutch Railways’ pyramid of customer needs to cycling policy: scribd.com/document/43837805…
ALT A graphic shows three stages through which cycling cities must evolve: people must first dare to cycle (safe and reliable), then be able to cycle (quick and convenient), before they are invited to cycle (attractive and joyful).
"Good planning is a public benefit and it should be welcomed – even celebrated – as such"

My piece for Placemaking Resource on the refurb of the fantastic Arding & Hobbs store in Battersea.
A grade II listed landmark store held in great affection by the local community, it has been sensitively repurposed for modern use.

This Vienna street isn’t “closed” because cars have been removed. It has successfully been “opened” to everything else, to a diverse & invigorated civic life, because cars have been replaced by a multitude of wonderful things.
Language matters.

POV: You've heard about the magic of the Dutch bike-train system. But you did not fully understand how the details work.

We've carefully added colour to this 1746 map of Westminster, Covent Garden and the South Bank (Part 2 of an ongoing project). It's amazing how different the two sides of the river were londonist.substack.com/p/now…

I have no problems with a law on death by dangerous cycling – everyone must obey the rules of the road.
But in 2022, 1760+ people were killed on UK roads – 3 involved someone being hit by a bike.
What’s the gov plan for stopping 5 people being killed a day by motor vehicles?
'30,000 people are killed or seriously injured on our roads every year, less than 3 involving a cyclist'
Former Olympic cycling champion Chris Boardman spoke to #BBCBreakfast about Government plans to make causing death or serious injury by dangerous or careless cycling an offence

We're asking people to tell us about walking and cycling around the borough, the improvements you'd like to see, and the barriers to participation. We're also working on an electric vehicle (EV) strategy for the borough. Here's how you can take part: ow.ly/fR6T50Rzp0X
