The Dutch have the happiest children in the world, largely because they can move freely and independently by bicycle. The concept of cycling starts getting introduced in preschool. Research shows that children travel more often by bicycle than adults. kimnet.nl/publicaties/pu…

The beautiful bike parkings of the Netherlands are about more than bragging rights; they’re about tapping into the psychology of behavior change. To stimulate modal shift, it isn’t enough to compete with the car on convenience; we also have to compete with the car on EXPERIENCE.

This part of the Strand in London used to be a congested road for cars. Now it’s a magnetic place for people. Good trade. It can feel hard to muster the vision and leadership needed for smart urban change. But it pays off with a better city. Gorgeous pic by Living London History | Jack Chesher.

CO2e and financial savings - and health benefits - from turning cities green are huge: - Green roofs can reduce energy use by up to 75% - Green spaces can reduce urban temperatures by up to 5°C - A 10% increase in urban tree canopy can reduce heating and cooling costs by 5-10%

ā€œIf women designed cities, they would be planned for proximity instead of motorised mobility. This supports a transition from car-centric cities to ones where traffic has evaporated, and people work with nature to create places that function at a speed conducive to living well.ā€
