Nature can be part of the solution to heat mitigation, even in cities! Read the #CoolingCities report fr @NaturalAreasNYC. And keep an eye on our urban #greening research projects in Louisville, @GreenHeartLou and the Trager MicroForest Project at Founder's Square. @UDStudioLou
It was our pleasure to talk to @CityLimitsNews and @mcunningham36 about our #CoolingCities report! Now is the time for cities to consider #NaturalAreas as part of their climate action plan. Read the full article: bit.ly/3KQevnx

Intersection of 5th and Breckinridge, 1926 v 2022 (from UofL Digital Collections). It is sad how many corner stores and other community anchors have been destroyed for parking.

I asked @godigahole in Portland to show me what urban green corridors can look like and he did that and much more, providing inspiration for how we can make Louisville a greener, healthier and more connected city. udstudio.org/stories/vision-… @RunWithCraig @mayorbilldieruf

Came across slides I presented at a #pechakucha event in 2013. My talk focused on the need to create a dense, uniquely urban neighborhood downtown. I not only think it is still possible, but critical at this point. #cityrepair – at Louisville, KY

If you’re looking to extend seating into the parking lane, an example from 2012 @UDStudioLou using shipping pallets and 1/2” plywood to make the transition from sidewalk to seating area almost seemless. #parklet #streatery #prototype – at Louisville, KY

Louisville’s first #streatery is taking shape at @MonnikBeer. Glad @UDStudioLou could help and looking forward to offering assistance to more streatery activations! Really appreciate Metro & Monnik for testing ideas in public space to help businesses try to weather the pandemic. – at Louisville, KY

A safer walkable street is possible on Bardstown Road! We need to get rid of the alternating rush hour lanes and move forward with the transportation plan louisvilleky.gov/sites/defau… @CMBrandonCoan @_Citystate #safecity – at Louisville, KY
Here, what planners call a ‘bump out.’ It’s a foundational #VisionZero move: a narrowing of the intersection - in this example to correspond with street side parking - to make the walk across the street shorter for pedestrians, while also slowing the movement of cars. #SafeCity
