  1. #Planner, not an #urbanist, but I have been doing a lot of thinking and speculating and researching and no... automated vehicles are not going to create space to de-center vehicles. In theory they could. But they won't. Because we don't have the chutzpah to make them.

  2. Interesting video by The Flying Moose on how #Copenhagen built its metro for "free." And yes: He went there and talked to people in the know. Fantastic video that could be interesting for any #urbanist and #transit culturist.

  3. Incredible. I love the idea of taking checkpoints and the "papers please" mentality, and turning it around on the nazis.

    #FuckICE #Minnesota (and yes, this is very much also #TacticalUrbanism roundabout created for the purpose of this checkpoint; for the #Urbanist nerds out there.)

  4. A subtoot:

    “The #urbanist girls are fighting”

  5. Hey, #forkiverse! I'm some random guy on the internet who talks way too much about random things

    A lot of my focus is finding the ways that #technology intersects with everyday life

    I talk a lot about #productivity, #AI, and #webbrowsers

    I've got my own blog @thedigitalrenaissance where I talk a lot about this

    On this account I also talk a lot about the #socialweb and the #fediverse as well, sharing my ideas on making the web more connected

    I'm also an #urbanist and enjoy #publictransit

  6. Signed the petition to ban public money going to private schools in #Alberta. Since it was in a local #BookStore, I bought an #urbanist book on a whim, despite one of the endorsements being from Richard Florida

  10. 🗞️ Excuse the creases but tidying my desk & I’ve been meaning to say how much I love this picture by Jeff McIntosh in The Globe & Mail since I saw it last September 🐈 🛴 #urbanist #canada #photography #micromobility @theglobeandmail.com 🍁

  11. I don’t have a BSky account but would be up for helping with this as long as there’s more than a couple of other people involved. #urbanist #Mastodon urbanists.social/@sam/11464009

  12. this is another very common example where I live, narrow bidirectional streets for all type of circulation, there are parked cars on both sides, the sidewalks are even small for pedestrians and the only way to pass is to go behind a car and without exceed them because a motorcyclist could pass by there at any time. 🚲😬

  13. Big props, major ups, large praise, to the new #CheebaHut #Boulder #Colorado, for turning this parking lot into lovely outdoor seating! LOL @ the parking FAQ too!

    As an ersatz #cycling #fuckcars #urbanist, I'm a big fan.

    +💯 will eat & drink there! See you @ Happy Hour!

  14. This is not Activism

    This is MLM Grift.

    #WindsorON #YQG #Cycling #Urbanist activists are making a big deal that Windsor is hosting the #OntarioBikeSummit2025 in late May.

    I'm not going to link to the website, because they want to charge attendees who register "early" (Before April 15th) $550 plus "fees and taxes". After April 15th, this cost goes up to, get this $775 +

    The vast majority of people in this community who NEED Active, Alternative, Accessible, Affordable #VisionZero infrastructure and policies are EXACTLY the people who these "Advocates" have decided to price out of participating.

    #Urbanism in general suffers from an egregious #Privlidge issue, but this is absolutely disgusting.

    You can be guaranteed that these groups, these people, will be there shilling their books, their membership fees, their Patreon Pages, more than they do anything else

  15. Une vidéo bien intéressante d'un habitant de Budapest intéressé à l'urbanisme qui réagit à cette passion des architectes hommes blancs pour la reconstruction de bâtiments à la manière de la fin du XIXe siècle

  16. #Atlanta is doing a forever-long, much-needed zoning rewrite. They are soliciting soooo much feedback for so. many. meetings.

    At this point I can't tell if it's a strategy to exhaust the NIMBYs & get it approved OR exhaust the the #urbanist folks into giving up.

  17. Then vs now.

    At Årstaberg station (commuter rail & LRT ring line) just outside inner city Stockholm. Big redevelopment ongoing. Low rise light industry to high rise residential (fairly urban). Including eastern entrance going from stairs & ramp up to narrow shared use path, to a a plaza with nice ramp & stairs, wide pedestrian + cycling bridge across, and a big grocery store coming!
    Other side getting somewhat redeveloped soon too.

  23. Just launched my account on tenforward.social, so it's time for an #introduction!

    I'm a writer and artist and I like to combine those in the form of comics. I had a modestly successful webcomic back in the day and bringing it back is my full-time job at the moment. You can see my art stuff at @[email protected]!

    I also sometimes make videos, video games, podcasts and I occasionally even do improv. You can see all my various stuff at nickthewright.com

    My core fandom is #StarTrek and I volunteer for #TrekTrack at #DragonCon. I've been into #anime almost as long as I've been into Trek, and I grew up with Ranma 1/2, Kimagure Orange Road, and Dirty Pair (currently I'm really enjoying Frieren). I also like Star Wars and other generally geeky stuff.

    I'm an #Xennial. I support #trans and #queer rights, I'm #leftist af, #antifascist and #anticapitalist. I'm #vegan, #bicyclist, #urbanist and #atheist.

    If none of that scares you, hi!

  28. Hey Mastodon, I want your favorite bite-sized interesting facts about bikes or urbanism! I will be displaying them in the Bike Fun iOS app while the rides load in, like you see in this example. #urbanism #urbanist #cycling #biketooter #pdxbikes #bikes #partypace #groupride

  29. CW: Long thread/3

    Steele's pioneering work - in #Hypercard, then #CDROMs, then #Flash - helped define the look-and-feel of the old, good internet; an #urbanist feel that owed a debt to #Toronto's most beloved adopted urbanist, #JaneJacobs. Steele and Mackerel made things that were beautiful and human-centered, human-scaled and human-adaptable.

  34. The campaign for better urbanism, more housing, improved processes etc. has really progressed in the last few years. It's much more in the public consciousness that we have a supply problem, and we should probably prioritise space for people over cars and private lawns.

    My final word: I love the plan for the Jericho Lands, it can't come soon enough, be bold!

  35. Work laptop updating ... here are more figures.

    Next time your #NYC Community Board obsesses about bike/ebike annoyances instead of car dangers, show them this plot. Car/truck violence yields 100x injuries of bikes and e-bikes combined.
    No one cares about enforcing red light violations postcovid (georgefloyd?). Interesting b/c #NYCDOT thinks leading pedestrian intervals are a traffic calming measure. #NYPD #Bronx #WashingtonHeights #Inwood #Manhattan #BikeNYC #UrbanistNYC #Urbanist #CB12MN

  36. #AmericaWalks seminar hosts dynamic #NACTO chief #JanetteSadikKhan and #Urbanist @davidzipper

    JSK starts with A people centered approach to our #streets. Vehicle safety and road design. "Flying driverless cars are NOT the future of transportation. [Xanax version of the future looks frighteningly like Seattle's waterfront.] But reality is people trying to get across the street in Orlando.
