Donald Appleyard's famous 1969 analysis of how urban traffic destroys communities. Three nearly identical streets in San Francisco, but with light, medium and heavy traffic. The less traffic the more interactions, the more friendships, the more meeting points. Cars kills cities.

This is big. #Spain is leading the way on making cities livable. Starting today—"All petrol vehicles registered before 2000 and diesel ones registered before 2006 will be banned" from the center of #Madrid. buff.ly/2AAaZZb – at Montréal, Québec

Big day. @AklCouncil has voted unanimously on plan to remove non-essential cars from city centre + other urban centres and - this is the big new thing - trials will start next year. A detailed plan to be presented in March. Congrats @AklDesignChamp and all who pushed for this.
