Spring in #Copenhagen arrives with an explosion of pink. Cycling to see the cherry blossoms completely shifts my view of urban living. People grab their bikes and head outside to catch the fragile season. It is less about touring and more about joining locals as they soak up the returning sun in #Denmark.

Good Morning #Canada
#12 on our #CanadaRivers countdown is the 1,287 km long North Saskatchewan River. Starting as glacier-fed in Banff National Park, it flows through Edmonton into Saskatchewan, joining with the South Saskatchewan River to make up the Saskatchewan River, which drains into Lake Winnipeg. The Saskatchewan River system is the largest shared between the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, with the North Saskatchewan River watershed covering an area of 122,800 km2.
The river acted as a natural boundary between plains Blackfoot of the south and woodland Cree of the north. Archaeologists found evidence of nearly 800 permanent or temporary occupation sites in the Edmonton region alone, dating back hundreds and sometimes thousands of years.
Edmonton's 18,000 km2 North Saskatchewan River valley parks system is the largest system of urban parks in Canada with a network of trails approaching 100 km. Here's the history of its development.#CanadaIsAwesome #UrbanParks

Beam Valley Parklands again, 3.5 miles (5.63km), 1h 40m, 2.01 mph (3.23kph), 76% of Google's estimate, not helped by the terrain or my dawdling.
I could have just gone 800 yards up Rainham Road. 🤣

Great chart of #SEAsia's largest urban parks. Should be an national embarrassment how far down you have to scroll to find the any #city #park from one country in particular, the name of which wouldn't surprise anyone who lives in or has ever lived in that country (🇮🇩 ).

#Urbanparks, here #Rehberge park #Berlin, can be areas of high #speciesdiversity, despite the large #city conditions. However, parks do not only host urban #biodiversity, but also fulfill diverse #humanneeds. G. Csomós et al. (2023) conducted surveys about the use and perception of #innercity #parks in #Budapest, highlighting parks, i.a., as important for #socialinteractions.

Tonight, folks in #KansasCity #Missouri voted to sell part of a city park to real estate developers.
This should never have been on the ballot. I’m 🤯 they approved it.
The argument was, in part, that the “abandoned” urban forest caused crime.
Public land is for the public. And in case you hadn’t heard, they aren’t making any more land.

This spot used to be a four lane highway that cut through the heart of our downtown. Since 2017 it's been a lovely urban park with over 100 trees, sculptures, (and soon) a fountain. …and the traffic apocalypse that carbrains warned about, never came.
The picture was taken last winter at sunset in Santa Rosa California.

Urban Green and Blue Spaces (UGBS) are great for mental and physical wellbeing offering a plethora of opportunities to relax, unwind and exercise. But, do UGBS provide accessibility for everyone?
How do you use UGBS? Myself, a mix of hiking, bird watching and dog walking, to immerse myself in nature.
(I hope the photo sphere works in Mastodon)
