Against our better judgement, we went straight from Gdańsk to Hilvarenbeek for gig 15 in our #20ConcertsFor20Years series. But our energy levels were boosted by a brilliant lineup at Best Kept Secret Festival, including jasmine.4.t, The Pill, Kae Tempest, Lucy Dacus, The Streets and Kneecap. #BKS25

The Netherlands boasts over 35,000 km of separated cycle paths, half of which have been built since 1996. This (fairly recent) success is built on design principles which are embedded in urban planning and together form a deliberate, systematic approach to infrastructure design: youtu.be/pdsUjjncUp0

Bernardgasse, a 500-metre street in Vienna’s Neubau district, has undergone a remarkable transformation from a car-dominated corridor to a climate-resilient woonerf (living street). This ambitious project, completed in 2024, serves as a model for sustainable development and community-driven design.🧵

Vienna's first Dutch-inspired cycling street was recently completed on Argentinierstraße, totally transforming the 1.3 km corridor. 140 car parking spaces were removed to significantly improve the walking and cycling experience—while adding greenery and seating to also turn it into a place to stay.🧵

"Urbanism blurs the lines between the planned and the unplanned, the predictable and the surprising, the safe and the spontaneous. If our goal is to achieve exceptional cities and places, a space must be found in our planning for some deliberate and intentional messiness.” @jasonthorne.bsky.social

Taking a walk through Delft as a cat lover can be quite a treat. The quiet streets are loved by human and feline alike, meaning nearly every walk includes saying hello to the (mostly) friendly #CatsOfDelft.

Until 1995, Gdańk’s historic centre was reduced to the function of a corridor, with the main motor traffic flow to Warsaw running directly through the heart of the city. Since then, it has been transformed into an attractive and welcoming pedestrian zone; elevating it to the status of a living room.

In 2017, Gdańsk installed some planter boxes, wooden furniture and bike racks on Grobla IV, and—with the revolutionary act of curbing traffic—created its first “school street”. It is now a vibrant public space used by residents of all ages at all hours of the day. Total cost to the taxpayer: €6,000.

The woonerf or “living street” concept is spreading from the Netherlands across Poland, including the town of Sopot, just outside Gdańsk. Privileging pedestrians and calming traffic to 20 km/hr, the name and elements are retained—removing the curb and adding texture, greenery, seating, and lighting.
