Many of the core challenges of urban childhoods relate to transport, mobility and access. Hear from Amy Child at the #LiveableCities Conference tomorrow discuss how a child getting around a city independently is a strong indicator of how a city is performing.

Tfw you are playing Cards Against Urbanity and your "planner" friend looks up from her card and whispers "do you know who @DonaldShoup is?" 😒🙄 – at Melbourne, Victoria

What's even worse than charging people to drive into the busiest part of the city? Letting them do it for free at rush hour. If ever there was an equity argument for transportation, it's congestion pricing.
