Here is a settled island arrangement that makes mixed-use, multifamily living attractive to a larger subset of the population.
The problem with this messaging (which I agree 100% with in spirit) is that normie Americans look at that apartment building and recoil in horror and disgust. (Btw many do same for the megadevelopments coming out of China.) Because most adults don’t aspire to own small units in

DENVER OFFICIALLY ELIMINATES PARKING MINIMUMS CITY-WIDE! FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS! After a 9-3 vote, the city will no longer require a minimum amount of parking for new developments! This will help projects pencil and will yield even more housing than before.

Leveraging London's streets as one of its most valuable assets, Strand Aldwych transforms one of Westminster's busiest and most polluted corridors into a vibrant and verdant destination. By filtering through traffic, 7000m² of roadway is reclaimed into a welcoming public space.🧵

Paris is removing cars in their downtown and around schools and the results are amazing.

🅿️ Chicago city council just passed parking reform that will remove parking requirements around transit! On the menu of YIMBY policy ideas, this one has been proven to have nearly the highest impact in terms of new housing production. Thank you @ChicagosMayor @AldermanLaSpata @Andrefor40th & @AldLawson!

"Freedom" apparently means letting cities grow like cancer cells until there's no farms or open space left and everyone is forced to buy a car for basic daily needs.
Devon McAslan, Ph.D. retweeted
Hot take: Only about 15% of Americans actually want to drive everywhere. The other 85% are just forced to because our cities are non-stop sprawl, highways and parking lots. That 15% should have that right. And the 85% should have more transportation options. That's not communism. That's common sense.

Today, several Dutch organizations suggested helmets to increase road safety. We say: welcome to the fight against road danger! To assist you, here's a proven hierarchy of effective interventions to consider from now!

A truly innovative approach to encouraging sustainable transport and car free living. Will be interesting to see how many people utilize this program. France is giving €4,000 to people who trade in their car for an e-bike theverge.com/2022/8/22/2331… via @Verge

THREAD: I’m going to try this thread to clearly state my perspective on electric vehicles, car dependency and better cities, to those who frequently ask me, including media, elected leaders and many others. Here goes. Please share if you think it helps. 🧵#EVS
Devon McAslan, Ph.D. retweeted
Here’s the blunt reality — reasonably-sized electric vehicles need to be the future of cars, but they can’t be the future of urban mobility. Fewer cars. Less driving. More inviting mobility options. Better communities and cities. These are the 4 pillars of the REAL solution.
Devon McAslan, Ph.D. retweeted
What if—instead of cars—we filled our streets with people, bikes, trees, and life?
