  1. I was once in a discussion with policy makers about giving better loan terms based on walkability. Good idea. But they were measuring it as a straight-line radius. Draw a circle, count what's inside.

    When I looked at the actual pedestrian network, the story is quite different! Not everything is accessible. Private roads, a highway with no crossing, cul-de-sacs forcing you around the block.

    I ran this analysis for four cities using #OSMnx + #OpenStreetMap = 💜

    What city would you want to see next?

  2. «No podemos seguir viviendo en el siglo XXI como lo hacíamos en el siglo XX»

    @CarlosMorenoFr en @EFEverde_ecoperiodismo

    "Falta tomar conciencia de los desafíos que hay entre el siglo XXI, dar continuidad a los Gobiernos para que pongan en marcha políticas de adaptación al cambio climático y personas que tomen medidas IMPOPULARES:

    «Por eso, yo llamo siempre a los alcaldes españoles a decir ‘las transformaciones hay que hacerlas desde el PRINCIPIO».

  3. I'm in Spokane, and lemme just say I love the 25 mph roads near parks, with the "SLOW DOWN" speed detectors along the way.

    Now, if you can only get physical separators between auto & bike lanes ....

  4. I’d say I’m living a 15-minute city life right now. I have the following within a 15-minute walk:
    Hospital.
    Several supermarkets.
    A large cinema.
    Multiple restaurants.
    Takeaway food of every kind.
    Loads of bars.
    Public exercise facilities.
    Two private gyms (which I don’t use).
    Large sports facilities.
    Swimming pools.
    An ice rink.
    Fast public transport to Belfast and a train network.

    Move to Dundonald. I was lucky enough to be born here 🥳

  5. "Today, Paris counts more than 50 self-contained “15-minute neighbourhoods” within its city limits."
    europeancorrespondent.com/en/r

    Best advertisement ever.

    And no, it's not controversial in the UK: there are many 15-minute cities in the UK. What there is as well is an entrenched car culture that must end soon, because far from serving any need, only further stuffs the pockets of the rich.

    We will host a session at this year’s EUGEO Congress taking place from 08.-11.09.2025 in Vienna, Austria.
    Our session will be about sustainable city planning and will gather researchers working on a transition toward a wider use of public transport & active mobility choices.

    💬 Back to the future: the 15-min city and active mobility indicators

  7. Wie nah ist Deutschland am Ziel, dass alle grundlegenden Bedürfnisse – von Ernährung über Bildung bis Freizeit – in maximal 15 Minuten zu Fuß oder per Rad erreichbar sind?

    Die neue BBSR-Publikation »Die Stadt der Viertelstunde« beleuchtet den Leitbildbegriff, analysiert die Machbarkeit der Viertelstundenstadt und gibt konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen für Städte und Gemeinden:

  8. 🚨 New paper out! 🚨

    We tracked 587 workers.

    🏡 Improving just residential walkability isn’t enough.
    🏢 Commercial, leisure, and other daily destinations also shape how people travel, and how much carbon they emit.

    🔍 We also identified distinct “emitter profiles” based on car access, job type & gender.

    🧭 Urban climate policy needs to move beyond the 15-minute city ideal.

  9. Our visiting researcher Davi Gressler presents his work on assessing realized 15-minute trips in US cities and comparing that to trips that were longer but could have been made in 15 minutes using SafeGraph data.

  10. I feel like my bread is improving! My third bread- this one is in the fridge now. Planning on baking it sometime tomorrow. I used the scale to do a few tests on this new bag of flour to find the optimal ratio of water to flour to use for the consistency of the dough. I do think I may have used a bit much starter- but apparently that's good for cold an hey now it's snowing here in Brooklyn :)

    The restaurant supply has some giant pots- foot for comparison. I really timed it perfectly with biking there today- it was sunny and didn't seem too cold.

  11. #Idée

    Et si, au lieu d’aménager la ville comme un gros machin avec un gros centre et une périphérie, on aménageait la ville comme une constellation de villages?

    Il n’y aurait malheureusement pas beaucoup de place pour des Walmart dans ce monde. Et ce serait très bien.

  12. This story is cute but it doesn't even answer its own headline. More importantly, it doesn't calculate total cost of living, a number that might draw more ppl toward a #15minutecity

  13. I found the craziest most gigantic parking structure I've ever seen in #spokane. This monstrosity pays true homage to #carculture. I've never seen anything that comes even close, though a quick internet search reveals there are substantially larger structures. Just mind numbing.

  14. Went to an Official Community Plan public input event for #PortAlberni

    Alll of the sticky note stations had at least one sticky note that said “15 minute Prison” 🤦‍♂️

  16. From The Boston Globe - When building bike lanes isn’t enough

    "But now is also the time to press for new and innovative approaches to encouraging, cajoling, and incentivizing more people to try the bike. This is a task that the city can lead but should not have to do on its own."

  17. OMG Vancouver finally looks at corner stores as one of the improvements to current zoning. It could be a game changer for boring suburban areas of the city!
