How would you make this street better for biking & walking? Capt Bertie’s Way is a short 20 MPH street with residences and an entrance to a major town parking lot at the end. There’s a planned shared use path to connect a new housing development (highlighted parcel). Thoughts? #BikeTooter #UrbanPlanning #SafeStreets #sidewalk #bikelane #UrbanDesign #streets #CompleteStreets

💨 When you sell a car (even for an EV), your gas car gets re-sold and keeps on polluting and emitting.
🛞 Tires are the worst form of car pollution. They shed microplastics and toxins every day — which kill everything.
The only way to end the problems of cars, is to end cars.
Boost on Twitter too, so people know:

For anyone who thinks it's a great idea to develop #adelaide parklands.
There can't be enough green space in cities. #urbandesign
Some nice feedback from visitors and people elsewhere....

A new volume by Annette Haug et al. has just been published that focuses on the socio-spatial organisation of cities in Late Republican and Imperial Italy. Referring to a praxeological and phenomenological perspective, it looks at neighbourhoods & city quarters as categories of design and experience: https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783111248097/html #Antiquity #Urbanism #UrbanDesign #romanrepublic #RomanEmipre

New Earthships capture more energy, water & food at lower cost

All the tech we need to reduce costs to near zero is here already.
What is lacking is the cultural drive to change to this.
We will need it to survive in the coming years, I think

While it doesn’t mention the CONSIDERABLE opposition Hidalgo still faces (#sadiqkhan take note), unlike most other reports it doesn’t gloss over issues and does a great job explaining why a work in progress is better than none. #green #cities #climateaction #c40cities #greenpolicies

Can American cities save themselves? This one thinks so.
South Bend [Indiana] is used to being written off as a dying city, but the people who live there are writing a new story. They’re not waiting for someone else to save them. They’re revitalizing this gritty and resilient place with their own hands.

Window awnings! They used to be a thing, where did they go?
And colonades! What a great idea!
How to (Re)Build Your City for Extreme Heat. 👇
Some ideas by environmental scientist and urban designer Susan Dieterlen RLA PhD, Founder of DeftSpace Lab as posted to Mastodon (26 July)
1) Trees, trees, trees to reverse heat island, create shade, lessen ozone production
2) Shade structures, especially at bus stops and where people walk or gather
3) Green spaces in every neighborhood, for a respite from the heat
4) Schools, public buildings, churches as cooling centers in every neighborhood
5) Renewable power and microgrids to keep the power on during outages – especially at those cooling centers
6) Light-colored roofs. This alone is shockingly effective! Also rooftop solar
7) Insulate and weatherize buildings
8) Bring back the porch. Creates shade, shades windows, creates cooler pocket next to wall
9) Borrow building ideas from hot climates: colonades, courtyards
10) Build with thicker walls: structural insulated panels (SIPs) but also masonry, adobe, straw bale…
11) Transportation without combustion, because engines > heat and smog. Bikes, walking, EVs, micromobility and transit without combustion
12) Orient buildings to maximize airflow from wind. In the US, generally winds come from the west/southwest in summer
13) Use awnings outside windows
14) Rethink public use of spaces after dark – lighting, security, visibility
15) Capitalize on vacant lots and other overgrown urban wilds to create more green space and cooling vegetation.

These bikes - which I've often seen just lying on the pavement - also present a serious hazard to people with vision impairments and an obstacle for people in wheelchairs, parents with prams, etc. #accessibility #inclusivedesign #urbandesign #placemaking

I’d love to be able to do something like this, but will almost certainly never have the space, time, energy, money, inventiveness or patience! 😊
