Complete streets is not a trend. It's what a street is supposed to be.

Public streets belong to everyone who uses them. Before postwar auto-centric planning, most urban streets were multimodal by necessity. We engineered our way out of that and spent 70 years calling it progress. Complete streets is the correction, not the revolution.

🐶🏠 Petit design, gros impact.
En Thaïlande, Stand for Strays a eu une idée aussi simple que brillante : des panneaux d’affichage qui se déplient pour devenir un abri pour chiens errants.
