Good Idea: Let Railways Build the Cities They Serve
https://worksinprogress.co/issue/why-japan-has-such-good-railways/
Japan’s rail success comes from a simple but powerful idea: let railway companies do more than run trains by allowing them to build and profit from the neighborhoods around their lines. Instead of relying only on ticket fares, firms like Tokyu Corporation and JR East develop housing, shops, offices, and entertainment near stations, which both boosts ridership and captures the economic value trains create. This creates a virtuous cycle where better places lead to more passengers, which funds better rail service, which in turn makes those places even more attractive. Combined with flexible zoning and fair competition with cars, this model explains why Japan’s railways are so widely used, efficient, and profitable, and shows that great transit systems are not just about transport but about shaping entire communities.

...Soil pollution is one of the main threats to human health and the environment. It is a threat you often cannot see. Similar levels of all types of #SoilPollution such as pesticides, microplastics, antibiotic resistance genes, and metal(loid)s are found in urban green spaces as well as nearby natural areas due to socio-economic factors." 👇

...It hampers the ending of world hunger and poverty and securing health for all. It is an obstacle to achieving many of the Sustainable Development Goals with which the United Nations Member States aim to ensure peace and prosperity for people and the Earth. Most #SoilPollution comes from industrial processes and mining, poor waste management practices, unsustainable agricultural methods, chemical and nuclear spills, and armed conflicts...👇
