So exciting to have new tools for opening streets up for everyone to enjoy. This will make school streets, small events, LtNs, tactical changes and pilots so much easier. beehive.govt.nz/release/counci…

Lockdowns were incredibly costly. But what many don’t understand is how costly lockdowns were depended on how well a government responded to the pandemic.

Those frothing about “race-based healthcare” need to take a deep breath and read this. You’ve been whipped into a frenzy by the media looking for clicks and your political leaders on the right looking for votes. Neither has served you well today.

🧵Kia ora. I've been head-down writing all day, so it took me a minute to catch up with "prioritising Māori for surgery" story. I think it's really an illustration of what's wrong with our media and our politics.

Please trust the NZ public with the truth: - It's far worse than flu - We can choose to prevent it. "The idea that the public is incapable of dealing effectively with the unpleasant truth ... leads authorities to communicate in self-defeating ways." 2/2 nature.com/articles/d4158…

Today's decision comes down to a choice between pleasing the public and protecting the public. Ongoing Covid-19 infections and reinfections are harming us. But the harm is preventable, especially by ensuring that we all breathe clean air indoors. 1/2

NEW: I’m not sure people appreciate quite how bad the Covid situation is in Hong Kong, nor what might be around the corner. First, an astonishing chart. After keeping Covid at bay for two years, Omicron has hit HK and New Zealand, but the outcomes could not be more different.

Urbanism is obsessed with quantitative data like population growth rates, median house prices & transit wait times. But the true indicators of great cities— joy, racial harmony, stewardship, hope, belonging, connection to the land etc.—are often qualitative, embodied & sacred.

Having done my best to piss off a lot of people on this website one thing that stands out is how people who are accustomed to driving their car everywhere have never even really given car culture any thought. Like, no part of it.

If #bigpharma won't listen to @WHO and @UN leadership, the majority of the world's governments, advocates or citizens -- maybe they'll listen to their investors? Important new effort to hold CEOs accountable for #VaccinEquity!
