  6. 🌳 Remarkable example of New Urbanism landscape architecture from Fayetteville, AR.

    🌟 It's a 36 mile (~60km) multilevel greenway that connects multiple urban spaces and attractions.

    🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 The recently completed project "offers opportunities for visual and performing art throughout and serves as a hub for activity, gathering, recreation, and community."

    🌞 Looks much better than concrete sidewalks through sterile grass fields.

  7. I think New Urbanism is mutating into New Suburbanism. Aka strip malls with integrated apartment buildings. Little mixed use complexes out in the middle of empty space. A gorgeous view from your condo balcony of a walmart. It’s so weird.

  8. I want o buy DVD/Blu ray or download "The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces" from #WilliamHWhyte. I see in USA some screeings come up in September and October 2025. What source do they use?

    Would like to show it in small cinema in Kiel/Germany. I only find Youtube movies with bad quality.

    Among existing tech that could be used for a hyperlocal social service, maybe something like Hometown?

    github.com/hometown-fork/homet

    See also the keynote @darius prepared for the online-only #APConf in 2020;

    socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/

    Or maybe Bonfire Community, or a @bonfire flavour specifically for the purpose?

  15. City for All on youtube has made an interesting video with suggestions about how to improve a US city with urbanism. Specifically Boise, Idaho.

    What do my dear followers here on Mastodon think? Interesting content?
    I'd say it's very constructive and well explained.

  16. This week on Fern River Club, Lena & Quinn meet up on a quiet weekday morning for a sauna at the Wellness Center.

    Lovers of playful exhibitionism, nudity shared between close friends, and secret glimpses are in for an early summer treat.

    I’m all for new tech but all that’s really needed are Dutch style separated bike lanes and protected signal crossings if they really have this kind of money to burn. The vast majority of both cars and cyclists aren’t going to download a “watch out for bikes” app, this is silly and a waste of time and money. But wait– this is not the end-all-be-all DOT approved solution getting shovels into dirt; it’s just a tech showcase:

    curiositylabptc.com

    Curiosity Lab Criterium – Curiosity Lab at Peachtree Corners […]Read More… from Curiosity Lab Criterium

    The tech behind it is kind of neat; giving cyclists some kind of transponder that will work with the “smart roads” systems of intelligent streets conditions networks. These are the different components that measure and relay auto traffic and post congestion info to those big signs over the roadways, or into your favorite mapping apps. But why are all the news outlets covering this technology exhibition as if it’s the thing to solve the larger problem though?

    We suburbanites really need to remain laser focused on real shovel-in-the-dirt ideas that can save lives and enable alternative transport modes like safe cycling and building better modal transitions and pathways for example. Prepping for a once-a-season bike race is one thing, but being able to use a combination of my bike and a bus to get across Gwinnett County without killing or injuring myself would be pretty cool…

  19. As the AJC reported, X (formerly Twitter) appealed to the Development Agency of Fulton County to try and grab over $10 million in property tax breaks on their data center here in Atlanta to upgrade the server farm… But providing no additional jobs… which is why the tax breaks are there in the first place! 🥴

    source: Atlanta Journal Constitution dated 3 Dec 2023

    Everyone knows that these tax breaks should be going to fund any development that directly enhances the livelihood of Atlanta residents and for no other purpose. Job creation, educational, cultural and infrastructure enhancement are all good reasons to consider giving a company a tax break as an incentive to be here and will soon show up tangibly as residents have easier ways to get around, are better educated, healthier and of course prosperous. This equates to a win-win as it usually shows a bump in tax revenues a few years later.

    However since X’s datacenter currently only has 24 full-time staff and no other staff are planned on being hired, there’s really no reason to give away $10 million + of our tax bucks that really need to be spent on the things I outlined above.

    I agree with @[email protected] when he says:

    Atlanta needs to reject this ingrained culture of giving away tax inducements to major developments that offer little or no benefit to neighborhood residents (or to neighborhood small businesses for that matter).

    https://www.threads.net/@threadatl/post/C0cglEUPAo7

    We have to shake this culture of “giveaway to play” when it comes to our civic monies and assets unless they directly, tangibly, OSTENSIBLY provide benefit to ALL within the boundaries of the city/county/state’s taxpayers.

    Thankfully, it did not pass, likely due to a lot of councilmembers suddenly hearing about it from their constituents I’ll bet:

  20. Urbanism: Use AI to Dutchify your streetview!

    Was playing around with Netherlands Cycling Lifestyle’s AI powered street pedestrianizer doohickey and decided to see what my old street in Yokohama would look like if it were a Dutch style pedestrian street.

    Feel free to hit up dutchcyclinglifestyle.com and have a go at it yourself… Also note the usual AI image generator results may vary!

  21. I had heard of the new "no car" housing development near Phoenix. Here's a recent article about the founder and organization behind it. My imagination starts running quickly towards if this type of housing solution could be perfect for members of the disabled community who are happier walking and taking public transport, including taxis, than driving.

    Merges the personal with public policy, kid who grew up here with #UrbanPlanning professional.

    “…I-94 continues to do active harm…

    So I will resist my own impulse to triangulate and think smaller, and instead embrace those who are asking what kind of city we really want to live in in 50 years. And why on earth there should still be a freeway running through it.”

  23. The US Is Ugly. THIS is Why. - Leeja Miller

    From the description:

    "The US is UGLY. How did this happen? How did we get this suburban sprawl that we all have to live with today? And what can we do to improve our communities? Turns out it's lots of money, PR, and, you guessed it, racism."

  24. Florida's #CompleteStreets guidance tells road designers how to translate context into target speeds, including transitions through rural town centers.

    It also tells local governments what their built environment should look like.

  25. Thank you, Florida Department of Transportation, for making this pedestrian crossing safer by informing pedestrians that it's dangerous.

    I'm glad that tax dollars were spent on this sign instead of literally any kind of temporary #TrafficCalming measure.

  26. CW: These Stupid Trucks are Literally Killing Us - Not Just Bikes

    Large trucks are extremely common in the US, but they are killing us in large numbers. Even if you are the one driving, you are not safe (even if it feels like you are). Most trucks are not even used in ways that would require the size of the truck for 99% of the time. Why do we even allow these death machines?
