#Solarpunk, when life and innovation become part of the decision-making process
Dylan Field, CEO of Figma, gave an interview at #SXSW2024 - a festival of music, film and interactive media - where he shared his vision of design for the future by highlighting an interesting movement: Solarpunk. This movement offers a less anxiety-provoking and much more positive perspective on shaping a world where life and sustainability are at the heart of every innovation.
11 July, 2024
Except: "#Solarpunk is rooted in a wider landscape of movements and currents of thought that share similar objectives of #sustainability, #inclusion and #innovation.
#Ecodesign is an approach that aims to reduce the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycle, finding innovative and sustainable solutions and encouraging the use of #EnvironmentallyFriendly manufacturing practices. The movement is also strongly guiding the approach of current websites by limiting the media used, calculating the CO2 impact of each page and favouring sustainable hosting solutions.
The #SlowLife, or #SlowMovement, which encourages a reduction in the frenetic pace of modern life and a re-evaluation of priorities, focusing on the quality of well-being rather than the quantity of activities. This resonates with the Solarpunk movement in its more #ThoughtfulApproach to #technology and #consumption.
#RegenerativeDesign which aims for an approach where systems and processes restore and strengthen #ecosystems promoting environmental health and #resilience. This movement also shares the same positive vision of creating solutions that benefit both human beings and the #environment.
#NewPedestrianism, or #NewUrbanism, share common concerns for the sustainability of urban environments. It aims to reduce dependence on cars by promoting walking, cycling and public transport, and to reduce carbon emissions in order to improve air quality. But that's not all: New Pedestrianism, like Solarpunk, aspires to create neighbourhoods that meet human needs, where it is pleasant and safe to live, work and play, while fostering conviviality between communities."

My bike trailer met a colleague at the grocery store.
It's rare to see signs of active, utilitarian, middle-class mobility in Antananarivo.

The Deadly Rise of Giant Trucks and S.U.V.s
Visual interactive article as to why for numerous reasons these really are killing machines on our roads.
Vehicle mass, driver blind spots, height ratios and more! (So fun!)

I didn't know there's a Strong Towns Toronto group! Very cool.
Advocating for safe streets, incremental development, and an alternative to Ontario's suburban experiment.

The easiest way to visualize this mixed-use infill concept—integrating apartments with a local market and yoga studio right in a suburban Ottawa neighborhood—was to get help from AI. #UrbanPlanning #InfillDevelopment #MixedUse #WalkableCities #SmallBusiness #LocalJobs

CW: letter to promote the fedi / shout-out for transit/ cycling/ walking/ neighbourhood accounts
@unchartedworlds @futurebird
Cool. I'll hold off on that, then.The travel / transit account I follow is really only @notjustbikes
For topic-specific things I like following hashtags since I then get to see people that I would not normally pick up.
I can recommend the hashtags: #CrossBorderRail

"Unknowingly or not, Sesame Street’s creators aligned themselves with the ideas of Jane Jacobs, whose 1961 book The Death and Life of Great American Cities had become the bible for urbanists. Jacobs championed mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods over the bulldozing approach of planners like Robert Moses. She identified four conditions essential to vibrant city blocks—and Sesame Street embodies them all."

Hello, all! I’m stoked to be here and out of algo-misery to rediscover the commons with y’all. That said, I’m still getting my bearings on how to explore this place. Like is the internet really encouraging me to ask strangers for directions in the year of our lord 2026?? Well, here I am asking! Which corners of the federation are you enjoying these days? Bonus points if they involve #dogs #goodbooks #bloomscrolling #walkablecities
With care,
Liz (& Jayber!)

Virtual Event - #MaineBikePed Monthly Meetups
January 19 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
"Join us for Monthly Maine Bike Ped Meetups! Across Maine, local bike/ped committees, planning commissions, non-profits, and volunteers are working hard to improve safe, enjoyable, and practical active and #AlternateTransportation options. But we aren’t always talking to one another! In these virtual monthly meetings, we hope we can learn from each other’s successes and challenges, get advice, and share resources in a casual setting – a forum for those already active in the bike/ped world, as well as for those who are curious about the current work being done or who want to start their own local conversations. Meetings recur every third Monday of the month at 4 PM via Zoom (FMI at link below). Meetings will be ~45 minutes and will consist of introductions, share outs, and time for questions! I’ll be there to facilitate and help connect folks with resources."

ASU study: Relying on a car is linked to lower life satisfaction. The most surprising aspect of this is the ASU part — my alma mater. Rababe could have just asked me.

I just realized that all of the seasons of "The Life Sized City" are free on YouTube since 2024. I was previously unable to watch these because of paywalls, subscriptions, etc.

Urban cows. What the small car-dependent minority don't see and don't know is that Antananarivo is a patchwork of walkable villages.

Non-driving New Yorkers elected Zohran
Car ownership was the strongest statistical factor predicting whether a New Yorker voted for Cuomo or Mamdani. More than race, age, home ownership, anything.

Esto está recién inaugurado. ¿Cómo se puede urbanizar una calle en Europa en 2025 y "olvidarse" de un trozo de acera?
