The 16th segment of this dinosaur #infrastructure opened in Aug 25, causing - no surprise - traffic jams. An expensive lesson in #InducedDemand . €720 million wasted. And now conservatives incl. @cduberlin want to remove a #bikelane to make more space for cars at this bottleneck. Like it's 1963. Unbelievable. #traffic #UrbanPlanning #urbanism #transport #transportation @autofreiberlinMore posts like this?

Induced demand chaos is Berlin. It's pure comedy. www.instagram.com/reel/DPEWQ6Y...

Designing and building a huge tactical #urbanism project in #kyiv is a joy but observing how people use the space is fascinating, too. Https://colville-andersen.com/torv

It's time we talk about #climatefinance. @mayors4climate.bsky.social have put out a call for $800 billion in annual public investment to prepare our #cities for #climatechange. This will spark global finance, protecting lives and livelihoods. The time is now.

We owe much of the urban quality of Copenhagen to some crazy projects being dropped in the 70’ties, eg this👇🏻.

In Praise of Analog Cities: Futureproofing in a Time of Crisis I didn’t need a pandemic or a war to teach me that smart cities weren’t the future — but it sure drove the message home.

New article in the series is up on @planetizen.bsky.social #urbanism in #ukraine and #analogville for the future.

First big installation weekend of our #urbanism project in #Kyiv. So happy and proud and grateful for our amazing volunteers. #placemaking

Beautiful morning in #kyiv. Beautiful day to start installing the (probably) largest tactical urbanism project in the world on Kontraktova Square. #urbanism #placemaking #ukraine

Another intense of russian missiles and drones at #kyiv. And an air raid during our #tacticalurbanism #volunteer event. But we never stop. #Urbanism is a tool and a medicine. Better #publicspace for Kyivians. #placemaking for the win.

What a day. 8 mths of planning the world's probably largest #tacticalurbanism project in #kyiv, we started work today. @kontraktorva on IG. Thanks to the team and our amazing volunteers. Work continues for 5 weeks.

Impromptu outdoor #cinema at the dacha north of #kyiv. The soundtrack accompanied by air raid sirens on occasion. #ukraine

Don't believe dictatorships when they declare "ceasefires". Air raid alarms continued and some missile was shot down over our heads in a village north of #kyiv. #ukraine #ceasefire #fuckrussia

Too few rich people died in S03 of #whitelotus . So disappointed.

When you read the russian media

#ukraine is the one and only leader of the free world and their people are dying for it.

Here in #kyiv the Ukrainian air defence worked overtime last night, thwarting the largest drone attack in 3 years. Amazing work.
