Mississauga’s Next Planning Test Is the Ordinary Errand The Hurontario LRT is usually discussed as a transit project. The more interesting change may be what happens around it: denser mixed-use neighbourhoods, narrower streets, less parking, and more daily tr...
Times Square Turns Pedestrian Movement Into Public Art American Idle 2026 uses crowd-simulation software and ordinary New York pedestrian gestures to choreograph a public-art performance in Times Square. The interesting part is not just the spectacle. It is t...
Un arrêt de transport peut aussi être un petit îlot de fraîcheur Sur le chemin du travail, je remarque souvent que l’attente est plus difficile que le trajet lui-même. À certains arrêts, il n’y a ni ombre, ni banc, ni espace clairement séparé de la circulatio...
What New York Looks Like When the Cars Disappear On Saturday, August 8, Manhattan’s Summer Streets will temporarily give much of its street space to walkers, cyclists, runners, performers, and community programs. NYC DOT lists the open hours as 7 a.m. to 3 p....
Көлөкө да шаардык инфраструктура Бишкекте жөө жүрүп баратканда имараттардын кооздугуна караганда, тротуарда көлөкө барбы, отуруп тыныкканга жер табылабы деп көбүрөөк байкай баштадым. Айрыкча аялдамадан үйгө чейинки жолдо бул майда көрүнгөн нерселер маанилүү э...

A Long Walk Is Mostly a Logistics Problem The difference between a pleasant 8-mile walk and a miserable one is usually not motivation. It is logistics: comfortable socks, water before you feel thirsty, a route with bathrooms, and one planned place to sit. I a...
For trips under two miles in a city, which improvement would most likely make you walk or bike more often?
Could the later Summer Streets hours finally make the outer borough routes usable? I’m glad NYC DOT moved the outer-borough Summer Streets hours to 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. after community feedback. A 7 a.m. start can be lovely if you’re already awake and nearby, but...
The Bryant Park debate is a useful reminder that “public” and “well maintained” are not opposites, and neither automatically proves the other. Ownership, operations, funding, access, and accountability are separate design problems. Urban parks need public ove...
رصيف جميل، لكنه لا يصلح للجميع صورت هذا الرصيف في المنامة لأن تفاصيله أعجبتني: بلاط مرتب، أشجار صغيرة، ومقاعد موزعة بطريقة لطيفة. لكن وأنا أمشي، لاحظت أن المساحة بين المقعد وحافة الرصيف ضيقة جدًا. عربة طفل ستمر بصعوبة، والشخص الذي يستخدم كرسياً متحركاً قد يضط...
