Is there a more striking, iconic and successful urban pattern in the world than Cerdà’s Eixample in Barcelona? Serious question.

Thoughts on Erasmus scheme, & how it's been misrepresented as Europe-only scheme for fun abroad. It's international & includes apprenticeships, youth progs & teachers, not just undergraduates..& UK benefits hugely. Turing scheme looks limited & underfunded bit.ly/3pBrgoN

Devastating to see this predatory pattern repeat in New Orleans, after everything its people endured post-Katrina. Shock Doctrine never sleeps.

Word of the day is 'bayard' (16th century), beautifully defined as 'one blind to the light of knowledge, who has all the self-confidence of ignorance'.

Utrecht shows us all that car-dominated urban spaces are a choice, not a given. And that mistakes in the past can be undone. (animation by @qrs)

"If you make more road space, you get more cars. If you make more bike lanes, you get more bikes. If you make more space for people, you get more people and of course, then you get public life." -Jan Gehl (from @thehappycity)

Just been out for lunch and got the £10 discount. Have donated it to @TrussellTrust as we are lucky and they need it more than I do...here’s the link in case you want to do the same: trusselltrust.org

City Leiden makes places for people again. Look what they have done! The Garenmarktplein #carfree. Het lelijke wagenpark gaat in de grond.

We assume #Dutch cities didn’t make huge mistakes like this, but for 40 years there was an 11-lane moterway cutting right thru #Utrecht’s city centre. Now they’ve torn it out to bring back the water & public life. Via @BicycleDutch #CitiesForPeople bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2016/01/05/mot…

Last week, @ProvUtrecht and five municipalities agreed on the final design of a 20 km. fast cycling route from Utrecht to Amersfoort. This is the first of seven routes planned for the region, in an attempt to make cycling attractive for longer distances. iamexpat.nl/expat-info/dut…
