🎙The next in our 'Housing That Connects Us' webinar series is May 2nd!🎙Join @MichelleHoar, Madeleine Hebert of @HappyCitiesTeam & Robert Brown (President, Chesterman Properties) to chat about all things #housing, #sociabledesign and #affordability. heyneighbourcollective.ca/2024/04/housin…
Some of our greatest impact happens where people have seen our message and research and then put it into practice themselves. @Fr_RowntreePark in York engaged with teen girls & created a month long programme of events to create a welcoming park!
The 15-minute city concept purports that communities should be designed so that a person’s daily necessities are within a fifteen-minute walk or bike ride from where they live. 🏘️🏫🏥 They are beneficial for everyone, especially women. 👩 Learn more: womeninurbanism.ca/words/15-minut…
This video of “public transit in Finland” seems to be blowing people’s mind. Via joshlevine485.
One year after Paris had built 52km of “corona tracks”, 60% of users were new cyclists, and the proportion of women increased 14%. With 62% public support, €250m will be invested by 2026 to make those popup lanes permanent, add 130km more, and build 130,000 bike parking spaces.
How well do #activedesign guidelines work at supporting #socialconnection in #multiunithousing? Working with our partners @HappyCitiesTeam & @SFU, we researched @CityOfNorthVan's & found several key successes. 🧶 heyneighbourcollective.ca/2024/01/north-…
Yesterday at #ReimaginingOurCities by YWCA City Shift, we had the privilege of convening a diverse group of inspiring women to engage in courageous conversations about the state of our communities amid growing polarization and division. A long thread 👇 1/
Bumpouts like these will make intersections safer for pedestrians, increase permeable surfaces for runoff during heavy rain events and incorporate more nature into our urban neighborhoods. 📍 Montreal 🇨🇦
30 minutes of walking a day - the closest thing to a miracle pill for your health, AND for reducing government public health budgets too. Infograph via @WalkBoston Let’s deliberately design daily walking back into our cities & communities. #healthycities #walkablecities
Today, and every day, we want to celebrate the remarkable women and gender-diverse people that have significantly impacted Canada's urbanism sector in positive ways. 🙌✨️ We are proud to highlight the following 18 for #InternationalWomensDay 👇️ womeninurbanism.ca/words/celebrat…
Friday was an exciting day!! @CityOfNorthVan was awarded $18.6 million from the Federal Housing Accelerator Fund! We put together an exciting application focused on systems change to support getting more homes built faster. Now the real work begins! cmhc-schl.gc.ca/media-newsroom…
The City of North Vancouver is fast-tracking the construction of 500 more homes in the next 3 years. City by city, we are changing the way municipalities build homes. Thank you to the mayor @LindaCBuchanan, the city and @JonathanWNV for your leadership.
“I always focus on the people who benefit when we create more sustainable options for moving in a city, like children, the elderly, the disabled and women. We must think beyond just making things better for cycling but the intersectionality within that.” eurocities.eu/latest/radical…
🏡 A generation of Canadians have felt pushed out of the communities they have always called home as housing has become less and less attainable for people. 🧵
👚💗 Proudly rocking pink shirts in honour of #PinkShirtDay with students from @AlcuinK12! Let's stand together against bullying + spread kindness, empathy, and understanding in our community every single day. #LiftEachOtherUp #ChooseKindness #PlayCNV
"In a world where you can be anything, be kind." City Hall will light up for #PinkShirtDay to reaffirm our commitment to creating a more welcoming and inclusive community for all people. I'm proud to wear my pink shirt. Today and everyday we can take a stand against bullying.
Did you know Paris has a 5-Year Pedestrian Plan? - 300 million € to be invested by 2026 - 100 new hectares of pedestrian space - 100 more “streets for kids” - New focus on 0 pedestrian deaths #VisionZero - Longer pedestrian cross times geared to seniors Does YOUR city have one?
The BEING BLACK IN PUBLIC SURVEY is rooted in first-of-its-kind research undertaken by my practice—spanning multiple dimensions of the public realm such as mobility, policing, infrastructure inequity, homelessness, environmental justice, gender-based violence, etc.
Last week, @DemocracyNext released its paper on Six Ways to Democratise City Planning, the output of the International Task Force on the Democratisation of City Planning that I was so honoured to be a part of in the summer of 2023. A🧵1/9 demnext.org/projects/cities
We’re incredibly proud and grateful to have this survey supported by the Canadian Institute of Planners. Our front end institutional partnerships will contribute to co-learning, knowledge sharing & structural change.

We need to listen to what teenage girls want from parks. As it stands, too many don’t feel welcome in UK parks. Facilities built for teenagers are often sport related, and 90% of users are boys/men. “Because I don’t have a reason to be there, then I think I shouldn’t be there”.
Paris aims to have 300 “school streets” built by 2026—closures to motor traffic that result in new public amenities. 180 have become permanent car-free spaces—as on Rue Charles Baudelaire—offering a glimpse into a future that prioritizes everyone’s health, safety, and happiness.
