“Trees take too long.” Look what they did in a mere 8 years. . .
Cambios que inspiran. Guadalajara cambió 6 carriles de contaminación por un paseo arbolado y una línea de tren ligero subterránea.
Do you have these within a ten minute walk of your home? Pharmacy, school, dentist, clinic, a way to make a living, grocery, hardware store, playground or park, barber, cafe, library, optician, book store (12 places total)? Congratulations on living in a real town. #GoodUrbanism
As I documented last week on this website, the of lack of visibility and truncated crosswalk is the direct result of striping crews not towing illegally parked cars during street resurfacing projects. The issue is rampant. And now an innocent 7yr old child is dead. 🤦🏻♂️ 😔
That separated, protected lane ABSOLUTELY fights #ClimateChange. And air pollution. And inequality. And preventable diseases. And public health cost increases. And cost of living increases. And tax increases. And it supports economic devt & allows more trips in a lot less space.
People are different sizes and sit in different ways.
251. Different Chairs People are different sizes and sit in different ways. When furnishing an area avoid chairs that are identical. Choose a variety - large, small, softer, rockers, old, new, w/ and w/out arms, different materials, etc.
“A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It’s where the rich use public transportation.”
Seeing action encourages more action.
165. Opening to the Street Seeing action encourages more action. Open up a space on the street side and include some part of the activity on the far side of the pedestrian path. People passing by will walk through it and see inside.
People need dedicated space to work with their specific team, as well as common spaces to share.
148. Small Work Groups Split up work groups into small, spatially dedicated teams. Each person on the team should at least have partial view of the other members. Create a way for them to easily share common areas such as the entrance, kitchen, equipment, and bathrooms.
Shared meals strengthen ties within groups. Make them regular, comfortable, and with room for guests.
147. Communal Eating Without communal eating, human groups cannot hold together. Make communal meals regular so they become important and comfortable events with room for guests.

Driving kids to school by car is not only bad for their health, their fitness or the safety of all other children. It also deprives children from a rich experience of their direct surroundings! (via @MargritStamm)

Induced demand is commonly misunderstood, and transportation professionals need to help explain it.
Bus stops as centers for public life and activity while people wait.
92. Bus Stop These spaces should form tiny centers for public life. Interweave them with newsstands, maps, outdoor shelters, seats, coffee shops, etc. They are dreary when set independently with nothing for people to experience while waiting.
