Urbanism NowStreetscapes has a new video out on how The Dutch city of Groningen successfully transformed its downtown from a car-dominated landscape into a thriving, pedestrian-friendly space by implementing a radical 1977 traffic circulation plan that restricted through-traffic.

I didn't know there's a Strong Towns Toronto group! Very cool.
Advocating for safe streets, incremental development, and an alternative to Ontario's suburban experiment.

For topic-specific things I like following hashtags since I then get to see people that I would not normally pick up.
I can recommend the hashtags: #CrossBorderRail

Deborah Preuss, pcc 🇨🇦"Unknowingly or not, Sesame Street’s creators aligned themselves with the ideas of Jane Jacobs, whose 1961 book The Death and Life of Great American Cities had become the bible for urbanists. Jacobs championed mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods over the bulldozing approach of planners like Robert Moses. She identified four conditions essential to vibrant city blocks—and Sesame Street embodies them all."
