Our values & priorities are revealed in thousands of small, important details in our city design, deliberate decisions that have prioritized cars over people for decades. It will take equally deliberate decisions to change. HT #Dutch cartoon by S. Verwey, 1980pic.twitter.com/rRxofuh7iK
Interested in smart mobility AND job creation? Walking & biking infrastructure projects create more jobs than other transportation infrastructure. It's math. #citymakingmath Via @Com_Mobility @aashtospeaks (but what about public transit projects?)pic.twitter.com/gqqTj0iaKU
How many people can move through the same 3m-wide street space at peak conditions? It depends on how they're moving. #citymakingmath Via @NACTO
Mobility in cities is about space. And it’s about moving people, not cars.pic.twitter.com/twGNyfMza6
It’s simple, really. Even if you personally never want to take public transit, would you rather your neighbours all have to compete with you for that limited space on city streets in their own cars, or chose to take frequent, convenient transit? #GreatThingsThatHappenedOnTransitpic.twitter.com/8LBQ4IZvXT
The argument about whether cars or transit or bikes are better for a specific kind of trip, or a specific kind of day, is usually a false debate. Smart cities give choices & make #multimodal trips, or days, or weeks, attractive. They support multi-modal citizens who can choose.pic.twitter.com/D7P9bZA1YL
When you remember that mobility in cities is largely about space, & when you see the striking math involved, you understand that every person walking, biking & taking public transit is helping cities succeed, & helping everyone move better. #Vancouver’s Math via @Dale_Bracewell.pic.twitter.com/uqlGCUkt1b
How to turn a street that moves 20k people per hour, into a street that moves 50k people per hour. It doesn’t take magic — just a rethink of our space & our priorities, & the will & skill to take action. HT @CityofVancouver @Dale_Bracewell #Vancouverpic.twitter.com/sIByzgH82K
The most amazing thing about this absolutely amazing car commercial, is that it doesn’t seem to realize how effectively it makes the point that cars are a huge waste of space in cities. #multimodalcities HT @javiermalagonpic.twitter.com/Bo2wnHn9Rq
Pretty wild, given that for the first century-ish of their existence, suburbs were a railway thing (and outlying residential districts around a commercial core = as old as Sumer)
Greater Tokyo much larger in area and has way more people than Greater LA, relies on every mode of travel to be possiblepic.twitter.com/MMdHdhyOB9
Tokyo doesn't build up lmao, you're maybe thinking of Hong Kong...the city is remarkably flat compared to eg New York, with most buildings only 2-4 stories high--and that's in the central areas, the suburbs are even flatterpic.twitter.com/aJFKFGrRDd
Third pic here shows an area within a 10 minute walk of the "city hall," the Tocho towers in Shinjuku. The fourth pic shows a suburban area in Odakyu territory out by Machida.
