The fact is that "bicycle cities" like Amsterdam and Copenhagen weren't bicycle cities much at all until the '80s or '90s -- they were giant parking lots and traffic circles without bike lanes. It was specific policy decisions in those decades that created their bike-friendliness

I'm intrigued by the case for density in cities as math and geometry. It's like thinking about neighborhoods as Tetris. fullstackeconomics.com/the-strongest-…

Our major cities don’t just suffer from low population density (that causes housing prices to rise uncontrollably, social cohesion to suffer and ecological inefficiently to persist) — they suffer from *declining* population density

One-way streets have had their day. Hamilton has made the right move. More cities should follow its example. theglobeandmail.com/canada/toronto…
