Here are two reminders from my bike commute today that, despite all the recent high profile hand wringing in the NZ media about e-scooters, these are not the big reason why the streets of our cities are dangerous.
Of course it's all the cars.
It's a choice that we design our cities like this.

#NewZealand / #Aotearoa #CommunityGardens - #NUWAO
"NUWAO aims to develop #NatureBased #UrbanDesign solutions, rooted in #Indigenousknowledges that support #ClimateChange adaptation and individual and community wellbeing in different contexts across Aotearoa and #Oceania.
Relationship to #IndigenousKnowledge
Indigenous communities worldwide have cultivated land for generations, crafting sustainable agricultural techniques in harmony with nature and rooted in local ecosystems. Throughout #TeMoananui Oceania, a rich diversity of TraditionalAgriculture and #agroforestry practices exists (Thaman, 1994, Thaman et al., 2006), and can be the basis of, or integrate into community gardens.
Community gardens can blend traditional methods, Indigenous #EcologicalKnowledge, and cultural values into their design, plant selection, and upkeep. Community gardens serve as vital spaces for honouring and preserving indigenous knowledge. They embrace traditional plant varieties, cultivation methods, and seasonal cycles passed down through generations.
Moreover, these gardens act as hubs for intergenerational knowledge exchange, with elders imparting wisdom to younger members, ensuring the continuity of traditional practices. These gardens can also foster #CulturalExchange and understanding, offering platforms for Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals to come together, learn from one another, and foster mutual respect. By embracing Indigenous knowledge, community gardens can not only bolster environmental #sustainability and food security but also fortify #CulturalResilience and advocate for #SocialJustice."

“All the cities of the world are going to expand. We need to have a better understanding of what makes good urban habitat for home sapiens.”*…
The futuristic city in Bladerunner (source)“When did our vision of the future become so constrained, tired, and even dystopic?” Julien Crockett talks with Bruno Carvalho, the author of The Invention of the Future: A History of Cities in the Modern World, about the history of city planning and how urban design intertwines with a society’s prognostications and projections…
Cities have long been places of possibility—places where it seemed that we could break from the past and create an entirely new future. As Bruno Carvalho observes in his new book, The Invention of the Future: A History of Cities in the Modern World, this mindset is a key feature of what it means to be “modern”—a sensibility toward the present and the future as it relates to the past.
Yet, as Carvalho’s wide-ranging history details, a break from the past does not assume a positive vision of the future. In fact, Carvalho begins his book with the question “Where did the future go?”—the title of a debate between the venture capitalist Peter Thiel and anthropologist David Graeber. Both imagine that the only cities of tomorrow are on Mars. When did our vision of the future become so constrained, tired, and even dystopic?
Carvalho’s book returns to a recurring paradox we have faced since the Enlightenment: the better our capacity for creation and prediction, the more limited our ability to imagine a new future. He marvels, though, that “we know some of what is coming: urbanization and climate change, life and death. Between all that, there is a lot of space for reinvention.”
In our conversation, we look to the past to help us think through what reinvention might look like and discuss what it means to plan for a radically different future. We also discuss the legacies of Silicon Valley, the construction of New York City, urban futures moving from the West across the Pacific, and whether Carvalho is optimistic about what’s to come…
Eminently worth reading and pondering: “Where Did the Future Go?” from @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social.

As we undertake to understand the urban, we might recall that it was on this date in 455 that the Vandals entered Rome, which they plundered for the next two weeks. It was, as sackings went (this was Rome’s third, of four altogether), relatively “light”: while the Vandals (who had destroyed all of Rome’s aqueducts on their approach) looted Roman treasure and sold many Romans into slavery, their leader Genseric acceded to the pleas of Pope Leo that the Vandals refrain from the wholesale slaughter of Rome’s population and the destruction of the Eternal City’s historic buildings.

Longevity isn’t just a personal quest—it’s a community one. 🌍
- Walkable neighborhoods & green spaces boost lifespan.
- Dense, supportive social networks cut mortality rates.
- Policy should invest in infrastructure that connects people, not just in individual “health hacks.”Our health is as social as it is biological. #Longevity #UrbanDesign #SocialHealth #PublicPolicy #Wellbeing

City Beautiful Blog takes a look at Chelsea — one of Manhattan's most layered neighborhoods. The Oreo was invented in what is now Chelsea Market. The Hotel Chelsea sheltered Mark Twain, Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen. The land under London Terrace once belonged to the author of 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. And the High Line transformed an abandoned freight rail line into one of the city's most celebrated parks.

#Google Street View Contrast: #London City Island, E14
2008 vs. 2025
From #industrial isolation to one of East London’s most recognisable #skylines. The "Mini Manhattan" effect is real. The Leamouth Peninsula has turned from derelict land into a vibrant hub.🏙️

So glad to have participated in the Academic #MindTrek Conference ‘CO-designing the Affective City’ by #TampereUniversity & #ParisLodronUniversitätSalzburg with @sghosh & learn how we can create speculative, affective urban spaces. We used old #Delhi (#chandnichowk) + #Kolkata (#CollegeStreet) as case studies.
💪🏼❤️🦾
