    * In the design of the new 'Lavenders Bridge Replacement' bikes and foot traffic do not seem to be a feature. A lot of bitumen was smeared over the river banks to facilitate the convenience for cars (parking).

  2. The long road to a bike-friendly Australia
    and the dehumanisation of cyclists

    * "At the rate Australian cities are building cycling networks, a cohesive system is probably decades away. What’s taking so long?

    "NSW wants to double active transport trips in 20 years...But at the rate Australian cities are building cycling networks, a cohesive system is probably another 50 years away, experts speaking to The Fifth Estate warned. Progress is slow. (One bike bridge was recently installed in Melbourne after 37 years of lobbying and discussion.)"

    "A 2024 report by The Australia Institute points out that less than 1 per cent of federal road funding goes to active transport infrastructure."

    "Richter was one of 49 bike riders who died on Australian roads last year, up on the average of around 38 deaths per year between 2012-23. (Thousands more were hospitalised with serious injuries during that period.)." >>

  5. Hype for the Future 108D → Modern Suburban Developments in Smaller Communities

    Introduction Though suburban sprawl often dominates in the modern outskirts of major and even minor cities, smaller communities, often of fewer than twenty-five thousand (25,000) residents, may have a more comprehensive sidewalk or related infrastructural network, even in the suburban zones. Within such suburban zones, however, the sidewalk network is often identified in the abstract as substandard, as with the sidewalk networks along major highways in modern suburban […]

  6. Das aktuelle kleine ThemenSpezial: Greetings from Suburbia!

    Die amerikanischen Suburbs. Einst standen sie für den wahr gewordenen amerikanischen Traum, den begehrenswerten Endpunkt und das idealisierte Idyll für alle Mittelklasse-Kernfamilien. Jedoch wissen aufmerksame Filmemacher schon seit langem, dass unter der gutbürgerlichen Fassade und in den immer gleichen Einfamilienhäusern viele Geschichten liegen, welche ganz andere Töne anschlagen. Ob es nun um das unterdrückte Unterbewusstsein, ungeplante Schwangerschaften oder herabstürzende Flugzeugturbinen geht, wir wünschen viele Grüße aus den Suburbs der Filmgeschichte!
