WATCH: This is STILL one of the toughest truths for some to accept, but one of the most IMPORTANT β€” car-dependent suburbia is HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED by downtowns and urban areas!

Watch this excellent video by #NotJustBikes with #Urban3 & @strongtowns.bsky.social.

"The Swamp" by Gustav Klimt captures a tranquil and reflective natural scene, showcasing his characteristic use of color and texture to evoke mood and atmosphere. This artwork, with its serene depiction of a water landscape, contrasts with Klimt's more well-known figurative and ornamental works, highlighting his versatility and connection with the natural world.

Quite aside from the need for fewer cars, not more, these things carry lidar 3d scanners, live scanning our streets, in real time, magnitudes of scale more powerful than any other surveillance medium, which is an obvious ulterior function of these, beyond their utterly pointless transportation use

This watermark graffiti by street artist Mathieu Tremblin is, like, the best thing ever.

This is really interesting to me. The ability to have an idea, when asked to do so, creatively, professionally, is in fact quite difficult? Ideation and #DivergentAssociation , in response to a brief or professional commission is a highly valuable skill

It's a misconstrusion of its seeming suitability to be used as a compliment in the same mode as pathetic is used in insult. Good 'thetic' / bad 'thetic'. You can see how that's confused so many

Interesting, but were this to happen, it needs to be completely dissociated from any technology sales motive. It's not about selling tech to institutions, it's about providing solutions o problems, with some problems possibly being alleviated by better technology integration and funding

Bollards & one-way systems stop through traffic. Play signs tell drivers kids are in the street. Paving, build-outs & planting slow cars. People add benches, hang out, share drinks. The street becomes an extension of home - a social space, not a shortcut. This is what neighbourhoods should feel like
