THIS IS HUGE. Paris City Hall has announced that starting on Monday, Paris will limit (not ban) car traffic in the city centre, as cities like Ghent have done. They’re creating a limited traffic zone (ZTL) about 2 sq miles in size, to clean the air & create more space for people.

Cities are taking back public spaces and transforming car-dominant streets into pedestrian-friendly open spaces. Pre-transformation, there are many concerns, but after implementation, most of these concerns vanish. What's holding your city back from doing the same?

The biggest political earthquake of my young life was the fall of the #BerlinWall. It ended the Cold War, gave my generation hope, and was followed in -95 by FI, SE and AT joining the EU. We really thought that liberal democracy had conquered the evil. #BerlinerMauer #Mauerfall35

Deliberative mini-publics are moderately appealing as institutional innovations but citizens in 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇮🇪 are reluctant to grant them significant empowerment and autonomy. Read the latest from Marina Lindell @saskia_goldberg & Andre Bächtiger. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

En riktig julhistoria. Herregud, jag är alldeles tårögd 😭❤️ "Den rörda fadern trodde aldrig att dottern skulle bli Finlands lucia. – Hon är den första bruna lucian i Finland. Det var ett fritt val och folk röstade på den de ville ha, säger pappan stolt." hbl.fi/2024-12-13/his…

Att tillönska Guds välsignelse i ett nyårstal 2025 känns varken modernt eller särskilt klokt efter att man har talat om vikten av mångfald och att alla ska känna sig delaktiga i Finland. Jag hade verkligen hoppats att #Stubb hade förstått att förpassa denna fras till historien.
