Seattle could meet its 30% tree canopy goal much quicker by converting a quarter of its 500,000 on-street parking spaces. The paving-to-planting conversion would convey many benefits, cooling neighborhoods and absorbing runoff. Op-ed: www.theurbanist.org/2025/02/22/o...

Da will einer Kanzler werden, der von „Mitte“ und „Wir“ faselt, aber faktisch alle links von ihm und der AfD wütend und unter tosendem Applaus als „Spinner“ bezeichnet, deren Zeit nun „zu Ende“ sei. Denn: alle links von ihm waren und sind gegen Nazis auf den Straßen. Geht wählen. Das Haus brennt.

Lasst euch nicht für dumm verkaufen mit Scheinlösungen, die nur das fossile Geschäftsmodell noch etwas verlängern.

German cities have announced the dismantling of the gas grid. Cities like Mannheim and Hamburg are leading the way. Mannheim plans to shut down its gas network completely by 2035. More in my article with @ckemfert.bsky.social on The Progress Playbook. theprogressplaybook.com/2025/02/19/a...

Die Wähler wünschen mehr Klimaschutz! Selbst bei AfD und Union wollen nur 7 bzw. 6% weniger. Warum wollen diese Parteien den Klimaschutz dann zurückdrehen? Heizungsgesetz weg, Verbrenner verlängern, Windräder abreißen, realitätsferne Scheinlösungen wie Kernkraft…? www.zdf.de/nachrichten/...

The SAVE Act sucks and you should contact your Congressperson to tell them that you expect them to vote against it. Why? Because it's a massive voter suppression effort cloaked as a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

I believe very deeply that everybody having big backyards (and usually also front yards) is one of the stupidest decisions we've made about land allotment. It ends up being so much space that could instead be large park areas that provide much better access to recreation.

Study explores women’s ‘personal safety burden’ in using public transport. Describes the five dimensions this take: cognitive, temporal, emotional, financial and social. Shocking (if sadly unsurprising) reading. What helps? Well-lit environments and the presence of staff. CCTV not overly effective

BREAKING: I’m hearing the great Donald Shoup has passed away. Few urbanists can really be called game-changers, but Shoup powerfully changed how we see parking rules and their huge affect on cities. The recent revolution in parking standards was inspired by his unique work. Thank you Donald. #RIP

A million cars have disappeared! “Congestion pricing [in New York City] began on January 5. One month in, traffic is down, public buses are faster, and transit ridership is up.” Via @fastcompany No surprise for those of us championing decongestion pricing for a long time. We know it works.
