News from the highly controversial world of a #15minutecity, where most amenities are near to where you live.
I walked with my daughter to visit my dad, and we saw some amazing blossom on the trees (it’s always early here for some reason!) … 1/4

We’d just been to a cafe a 5 minute walk from my dads … we bumped into two friends and another local while walking, and stopped 3 times for chats with people. The walk took 15 rather than 5 due to lots of gossiping. Arranged a play date for this afternoon … 2/4
In the cafe, we saw lovely tapestries, and had a nice chat with the barista. Dolls were well behaved.
This lifestyle isn’t always possible. But as I said on Radio 4*, I live in an area where everything’s nearby, and I’m here to tell you that it’s great

Oooh boy...this #15minutecity conspiracy theory goes deep. @peterwalker99 @carlafrancome @jonburkeUK @carltonreid
My letter I wrote to him for context.
Quoting @Jacob_Rees_Mogg "our own Lib Dem Council(@bathnes), who seem to delight in making life as difficult for motorists as possible".

Ever heard of Toulouse as a city centre whose improved street design is revolutionising local prosperity?
It’s not normally lauded as a case study. But quality of the street design is staggering. The results are stunning. Literally no empty shops in town centre. How? A short 🧵

Well, it has to be admitted, they have a trick up their sleeve: the city centre’s buildings are almost uniformly beautiful, largely unscarred by war or traffic-modernism. Many …
… are built from the region’s traditional "foraine" brick which is large and flat (like a Roman brick) and comes in a lovely range of ochres, reds, pinks and oranges. You can see why the French call it “La Ville Rose” …

Transport is one of the only sectors where emissions continue to climb 📈. Electric vehicles are only a solution to regional book keeping, they are NOT a global 🌎solution. Real solutions to decrease #transport #climatechange emissions:🧵 cbc.ca/news/politics/…
1) Invest purely in public transport, especially rail 🚃🚋🚎🚊, and active and micro transport 🚴🚶♀️🛴🛵. These modes are much much more sustainable even with infrastructure. E.g., researchgate.net/publication/31…
2) If you want to invest in electric vehicles, invest in electric public transport and for individuals, e-bikes.
New paper! "Beyond the car. Car-free housing as a laboratory to overcome the system of automobility” with Daniel Baehler in Applied Mobilities 50 free eprints bit.ly/3oFsWN8 Main results ⤵️1/4
We studied 9 car-free housing projects in Germany 🇩🇪and Switzerland . Residents commit to living without a private car ➡️ They give insights on how to decrease motorization in cities and to implement a post-car system and a #15minutecity 2/4
Residents develop 4 strategies: taking full advantage of cycling (trailers, cargobikes, ebikes) & public transportation; mobility services (e.g. carsharing); everyday life organized on proximity and car-free accessibility; neighbourly help and activities 3/4
