Macro is usually about nature, but it works best on urban decay. The way light hits a cracked window frame or a rusted bolt tells more about a building than a wide shot ever could. These tiny imperfections are where the actual soul of the architecture lives.

Back on #PublicTransportation for the commute.
Y’all trapped in car monoculture don’t even know what you’re missing.

High costs are pushing developers to cut corners on materials, and it shows. We are getting these generic concrete boxes that look the same everywhere because they are cheap to build. It is a tragedy when budget constraints kill any sense of proportion or soul in a building. Quality should not be a luxury, but now we just get sterile cubes.

Simply removing most cars from central downtown streets in Ghent, Belgium has dramatically transformed and improved this beautiful city.
Pro tip: Any city anywhere can decide to do control where cars can go.

Vertical forests usually look better in renders than in reality, especially for our climate. Most of these projects are just expensive marketing that requires insane amounts of water and maintenance to keep the plants alive through winter. Real sustainable urbanism is about better materials and smart drainage, not just slapping some bushes on a balcony.

Biking builds trust. Great bike streets build friendships.
In another city, this cluster of six middle-aged guys might each be driving their own SUV to the pub or the grocery store.
On bikes in #Utrecht NL these guys can relax, talk, and get to know each other.

Are there Urban Planning folks on Masto?
I'm slowly allowing a childhood interest in architecture and infrastructure to grow.
If you have any book recs, whether they're pop culture favorites or foundational educational texts, I'm all ears!

Thousands of Lime scooter and bike users take to the streets in downtown Minneapolis.

This is what drivers in Edmonton think of speed limits, empowered by an Alberta government and MINISTER OF TRANSPORTATION of all people, who feel.the same way about speed limits (fitst restricting enforcement, then raising limits). This playground zone is of course where MY children play. I can't wait until we have a government who represents the vulnerable population, not selfish interests!

Replying to
@jcarlson@mapstodon.space It turns out that if we shrink vehicles to a reasonable (ahem, bicycle) size, everyone can park by the front door!

From Strong Towns, a brief comment on a graphic going around social media showing the different priorities of Europe vs America when it comes to land use and transportation.
Europe, which focuses on mass transit, has a dense, vibrant, and varied skyline, whereas the American equivalent is a couple of tall buildings being the only useful and productive spot, surrounded by a lot of wasted space in the form of parking lots.
Wasted space. I said it.
