I don't like to say it but in Malaysia I felt like I was breathing again. I felt like things were made for Human life.
Here in the States it feels like our environment is never about making our lives easier (and certainly not better).
It's aggressive. It's hostile.

I didn't leave the States for 10 years and now I almost wish I hadn't because I had forgotten what it was like not just being able to walk everywhere in a city but actually enjoying walking in a city.

I don't regret moving to the States.
As a trans non-binary person this is still the best place to be even with all the hatred we face.
But it's also one of the most dehumanizing living environment I've ever seen.

Would anyone be interested in some free stickers of our logo (Sepia, PeerTube's mascot, riding a bike)? Trying to spread the love for #OpenSource #ActivityPub #PeerTube #Urbanism #BikeTooter #WalkableCities. A small batch just for fun! 😛🚲🎥

GOOD IDEA: This may look like a transit map, but it’s actually a map of typical walking times & distances in the walkable, car-free Spanish city of #Pontevedra. A simple, clever idea that every city working to be more walkable should steal.

It wasn’t an accident. Cities and suburbs that prioritized cars over people, and designed exercise and activity out of daily life, were deliberately planned and built.

The better cities that are the solution will need to be deliberately planned and built too.

“…a new study of early separated lane projects in the U.S. across six cities finds a rise of ridership between 21% and 171% after the lanes were installed.”

Never forget that when #Seoul, Korea removed the #Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream and a 1000 acre park in the city’s centre, not only did it completely transform the city’s public life & economic success, but when combined with public transit improvements, the vehicle traffic congestion actually got better.

The traffic got BETTER!

WATCH THIS VIDEO: If you STILL don’t understand how car-dependent suburbia (aka Sprawl) is HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED by downtown and all the urban parts of your city, watch this excellent video by @notjustbikes with UrbanThree & Strong Towns. And then please SHARE it as much as possible, especially with your local municipal leaders.
