Across the world, a quiet revolution is underway. We are unlearning the errors of traffic modernism and daring, again, to create new places or re-stitch old ones to be beautiful & durable, happy & humane. Good. France🇫🇷🇩🇪🇬🇧 All these are new.

Housebuilders can still build beautiful high quality homes when they want to - or need to. This is Foundry Field in Burnham Market, Norfolk, by the developers Hill and Fleur. Every detail is well done, from the flintwork to the windows to the pantile roof. maps.app.goo.gl/YbADJmoc6fFkjj…

Before I-10, this part of New Orleans was a pleasant community connector with narrow streets, trees, and walking space. The lots held houses or businesses. Now, those occupied lots are now empty, displacing houses and businesses.

The mayor is right that this is a step up, but this article also shows the madness of having to go to Westminster to get permission to build a tram system. We must give mayors the power to build and run trams bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Today, the Government launches plans to fast-track driverless vehicle trials in the UK. One of the companies involved says London presents a big challenge: “It has seven times more jaywalkers than San Francisco.” Except… it doesn't. 🧵

In the twentieth century, many German buildings had their stucco facades stripped off ('Entstuckung'). Today, they are gradually being restored. This project won the annual 're-stuccoing' prize of the charity StadtbildDeutschland in 2024.

Great. Crack on and do it ASAP so this can become a truly great high street once again. The next generation will look back with bemusement that we used to allow motor traffic down the street. Nobody will want to reverse it bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Criminals on our roads are getting away with joke penalties. Repeat drink drivers face driving bans of JUST 3 YEARS. Those that KILL, only 6. Criminals using GHOST PLATES to avoid detection face a TINY fine We spoke with Sarah Coombes for West Bromwich to END LAWLESSNESS on Britain's Roads🧵

Sorry - I already reposted this once. But, it's been sitting with me... I'm just starting to realize how absolutely incredible this graph is. We've been talking about virtual power plants for 20+ years. And, it's now happening at a meaningful scale. And it's not just Tesla -

Cities work when we can cross the road without fear, take our kids out to play on the street or get to work in a relaxed way The issue of dangerous driving is fundamental to beautiful, walkable urbanism and this campaign is hugely welcome

How do we kickstart a tram building revolution? By bringing down the cost of building new lines. Trams can unlock growth in the UK's cities, but as Chris Curtis MP raises, it currently costs twice the European average to build a kilometer of track in the UK.
