Recent issue of *Cities & Health* is full of articles that will find interesting (noise, air quality, active transportation, ageing in place...), including:

"Promoting children鈥檚 play in Calgary, Alberta: A case study of collective impact and municipal leadership".

"Shade Redux": Very timely episode of the "99 % Invisible" podcast about the much disputed Sombrita in Los Angeles (a shade screen for bus shelters introduced in May 2023). The episode touches on the inequality of urban design, cheese graters, and public health in the times of the climate crisis.

Worth a listen!

That looks unsafe, how am I supposed to maintain the speed limit while making that turn?

On half hearted bike lanes. You can design streets for what you want, if you want cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic, if you want pedestrians and bikes, you can get them too.

Playground in Parc de Belleville in Paris. It seemed to have massively changed since it was constructed by 'Base' - it's still is a great example of the use of topography to create a challenging playground.

School streets in Paris. Many streets in Paris have been converted into school streets. Only pedestrians and fire trucks are allowed in. Seems like a better school environment.

Public transport is also about clarity. Here is a perfect example of a bus stop in Paris.
