We LOVE before-and-after transformations of streets and people-places! They can be VERY effective in not only showing what’s possible in our cities, but also in creating community and political support for change that can too often feel scary! Share yours with us & we’ll help spread our favourites.

Lie: Bike-lanes cause traffic congestion. Truth: Bike-lanes help solve traffic congestion. Lie: Bike-lanes hurt street shops if they replace parking. Truth: Bike-lanes help street shops more than street parking does. Lie: Bike-lanes cost us too much. Truth: Bike-lanes save us all public money.

❓Have you noticed that digital products and services are getting worse? So have we!

➡️We have published a report about enshittification, on how and why digital products and services keep getting worse - and how we can turn the trend (hint: open tech, enforcement, public policy++)

🌳 Place Salvador Allende : le chantier avance à #Grenoble.

Les arbres sont désormais plantés.
Au total : 25 arbres et 1 000 m² de surfaces désimperméabilisées dans le cadre du #PlanCanopée.

Objectif : transformer progressivement une place très minérale en un espace plus ombragé, plus perméable et plus adapté au changement climatique.

Les travaux se poursuivent dans les prochaines semaines.

Berlin-Reinickendorf, Ollenhauerstraße: Kahlschlag aller 116 Straßenbäume für Luxus-Straßen-Neubau? - Online petition

Ab Oktober 2026 sollen alle 116 Bäume in der Ollenhauerstraße zwischen Reinickes Hof und Kögelstraße gefällt werden, damit die gesamte Straße ab 2027 für bis zu 19,5 Mio. € komplett neu gebaut werden kann. Ich fordere ein Moratorium (einen Aufschub) der Umsetzung der vorliegenden Neubau-Planungen des Bezirksamtes Reinickendorf, um im Rahmen einer Umplanung folgende bisher nicht beachtete Aspekte in diese Planungen einzubeziehen: 1. Erhalt aller gesunder Bäume und Nachweis für die Fällung kranker

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it WASTES public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @[email protected]
