Starvation. The unacceptable face of Israel’s war on Gaza.

A doctor from an international aid agency took these pictures 10th April at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

The desperate parents gave permission to publish these.

“Cars are Calgary’s Kryptonite when it comes to out-of-the-box thinking because cars are too often used as an excuse to prevent trying something smarter & better.” My blunt comments on the idea of a pedestrianized 17th Ave, with @GlobalNews Global Calgary. globalnews.ca/news/10417262/…

Eid in Gaza

🔥Former Calgary chief city planner Brent Toderian weighs in: Pedestrianizing Calgary’s 17th Ave SW ‘COMPLETELY FEASIBLE’.

👏Great story dispelling the myths and hyperventilating of a small handful of naysayers.

Highways and sprawl isn’t just terrible for your life (the high personal and financial cost of the long commute) and terrible for the environment, it’s also terrible for cities and governments because the math doesn’t work. Sprawling cities are broke. Sprawl inducing highways…

What’s it like being an Urbanist in Residence at School of Cities? I’m a few hours in and I swear I’m bit taller! I’ll be focusing on how e-bikes can contribute significantly to Toronto's net-zero greenhouse gas emission targets by 2040.

More home insurance cancellations coming due to climate change.

Seriously, watch this short video. To see how to effectively make the case for protected bike-lanes, and particularly how they’re good for business. Or just as a great example of how to speak to any city council.

Watch it, then share it. HT Providence Streets Coalition 👟🚲🚌🛴♿🚗🌲
