🚶 Better cities start with better streets for people.

ITDP’s Pedestrians First helps cities measure walkability and understand how streets can better connect people to public transport, jobs, schools, and services.

Walking in Bangkok can be... a challenge, even in touristy central areas. I need to be kinder to Atlanta's sidewalks 😆 #urbanism #walkability #Bangkok

Fabulous opportunity thanks to Anna Zivarts of the Nondrivers Alliance. Hear Michael Pollack, author of Sidewalk Nation, live in Seattle or streaming Oct. 5. actionnetwork.org/events/sidew...

Is it time we developed a #walkability Transect for sprawl? How would you delineate the zones? 🛣️

Read how Touro University Law Center Professor Michael Lewyn created a taxonomy of different types of sprawl: https://www.planetizen.com/blogs/138486-transect-sprawl

Abundance matters.
Here's how to enable it.

Perceived #walkability - #urbanism - fun to measure the perception gaps between my two hometowns #Paris & #Seoul:

[10/10] Les conflits de mobilité traduisent moins un simple manque de civisme qu’une organisation inégale de la rue. Sortir de l’automobilité permettrait de redistribuer l’espace, mais les usages resteraient à arbitrer selon de nvx rapports de force. #geography #urbanmobility #mobility #walkability

[10/10] Lewyn montre que l’étalement urbain forme un continuum. Une rue peut sembler agréable à pied mais déboucher sur un grand axe infranchissable. Pour comprendre la marchabilité, il faut donc observer tout le réseau e rues et l’accès réel aux commerces. #geography #walkability #urbansprawl

[1/10] Michael Lewyn (Touro Univ) propose de classer l’étalement urbain selon la facilité de se déplacer à pied. Toutes les banlieues ne se ressemblent pas, certaines restent assez "marchables", tandis que d’autres rendent presque tt déplacement piéton difficile. #geography #walkability #urbansprawl

Today, we attended a Stakeholder Consultation on draft Non-Motorized Transport Regulations prepared by @parisarpune (our friends from Pune) attended by State officials

I want to give a shoutout to work by Anna Zivarts and her Disability Mobility Initiative for highlighting the need for safe accessibility at these locations and others around the state.
