Made a little compilation video of early spring vibes in Utrecht. I’ve been outside for 4 days straight basically.
In the video:
The dom tower
Dom garden
Botanical garden
Library
Some scenes in the city center
This video has been making the rounds on #urbanism internet and despite the annoying title (the answer, of course, is "No"), it makes some decent points on Bikes vs Transit and how they interplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvOoTvmt6_c
TL:DW;
- Bikes require less waiting
- Bikes are better for off peak trips & non-hub trips
- Bikes allow you to run your own schedule and can carry more cargo, thus a car replacement
- transit is better for moving large numbers of people
- transit is expensive
I had a surprising encounter this week. English speaking guy has spoken to me in the tram in my hometown of #Pilsen, Czechia, recognising the @notjustbikes pin on my backpack. He also asked if I know @nerd4cities [threads.net], which is funny because he looked a bit like Ray himself. The fact you can both randomly encounter foreigner from the same rabbit hole and come across a friend from your middle school has to be one of the best things about living in a 200k city.
Our research should be of special interest to anyone into #urbanism #carcentrism #cardependence #walkability #segregation like @BrentToderian @TheWarOnCars @nerd4cities @notjustbikes @SheDrivesMobility @straphanger
Sen̓áḵw, Canada's largest Indigenous-led housing development, is set to welcome residents this year as the Squamish Nation pioneers a vibrant, walkable, and sustainable community free from the parking minimums mandated by nearby cities.

@David@setouchi.socialOh and while I was at it, I took a picture of the main street in my neighborhood. It was one of the most beautiful streets in town the first time I saw it (before the trees got senselessly and repeatedly attacked by municipal employees).
This is what the "trees" look like now. What's the point of even having trees, then?
Taken For A Ride:
This documentary covers the General Motors Streetcar Conspiracy. Automotive manufacturers, tire makers, and oil companies conspired to buy up and shut down public transportation in America.

Cookie cutter developments lack character and are an inefficient use of land.
"By thinking beyond immediate needs and designing with adaptability in mind, we can build communities that are not just functional today but that continue to evolve and thrive for generations to come. The key lies in recognizing the value of every nook and cranny and ensuring that no space is wasted."
Somebody should make Sim-15-minute-City. A Sim City-inspired game based on urbanist principles. Start with a desolate suburban moonscape and turn it into a delightful 15 minute city.
I realise I never did a re-#introduction after moving to my bespoke, artisanal instance. So here it is!
I'm a soon-graduating PhD student at #UBC Biomedical Engineering with a research focus on #imaging, #biomechanics and #simulation of rare pediatric hip disorders like #perthes disease.
My other interests are all over the place: #urbanism, #classiccars, #retrocomputing, #electoralreform, #crochet, #music composition, #linux and #fedi and more I'll probably add as I remember!
