What would it mean for urban planners to confess their love for the places they plan? SFU Urban Studies director & professor Meg Holden writes in The Conversation Canada about how loving our cities could help us build better ones in a post-#COVID19 world. ow.ly/yALT50Ayjt5

New paper alert! Are they really interested but concerned? Cities, Health & Active Transportation Research PhD Student @kahosford used #mixedmethods to unpack the popular Geller bicycling typology. Survey-derived did not match how bicyclists see themselves. authors.elsevier.com/c/1bvjT4tTwCkS…
