Human borders mean nothing to non-native species, so I've got in the spirit and hopped over from @smnstuttgart.bsky.social to Winterthur in Switzerland to explore how they're monitoring and managing a very urban ant.

I don’t think London, Paris or Amsterdam are simply “declining”. They’re changing and investing. But investment isn’t just construction. It’s ongoing maintenance. Cleaning, repairing, repainting and replacing things has to happen continuously. #Cities #Urbanism

You can see brand-new developments with immaculate landscaping sitting beside filthy signs, cracked pavements and tired public spaces. Then, a few years later, the shiny new stuff starts looking neglected too. That’s not progress. #Cities #UrbanDecay

And it’s the boring stuff that matters: street cleaning, repainting railings, fixing pavements, cleaning signs, repairing street furniture, maintaining parks and removing grime. None of it is glamorous. All of it makes a city feel cared for. #Cities #Maintenance

It’s the old city that’s declining. Pavements, buildings, railings, signs, street furniture and public spaces increasingly look tired. We’re good at announcing new projects, but seem increasingly bad at looking after what already exists. #Urbanism #Cities

I’ve been to Amsterdam, Paris and London countless times over the last decade. There is a decline, but it’s weird. These cities are still building constantly. Cranes everywhere. New developments. New infrastructure. Yet something is being lost. #Cities #Urbanism

🌍 Cities' net zero plans lean on carbon credits

103 European cities aiming for net zero by 2030 put 40% of their plan on carbon credits, 32% on permanent removal, and have actually measured just 18% of it.
