Just learned a great deal about the #liveability of #Montreal from this great video looking at all the #transportation and #mobility enhancements they've made, and how it is part of the culture.

Must visit soon!

On the noticeboard in Bellingen
Noise pollution from traffic on the main road is scaring tourist away.
Looks like other people have noticed the speeding traffic through #Bellingen. Compression breaking of heavy vehicles in #Hyde Street and surrounding area repels anyone.

#Bellingen has a #traffic jam problem. The 'CBD' ist stuffed. Shopping is a 'running the gauntlet' experience. No matter how much they will 'straighten the bends and widen country roads', there will be just more and more cars. Removing 'bends' from very steep and winding country roads is eliminating #biodiversity #habitat.
Where will all the cars go from the newly smashed in suburbs? (North Bank Road etc) Working hard to make it a #Nonplace.

Lessons from Vienna: a housing success story 100 years in the making.

As world cities suffer from crippling rent rises, the Austrian capital’s radical housing policy is inspirational.

It is a Vienna that most tourists don’t see. This contemporary version of Vienna is famous for its high quality of life and for consistently coming top of the Global Liveability Index.
