My friend Rosa Yolanda Pineda has organized an event to get more folks CYCLING in Uptown Manhattan on an Open Street.
If you have never ridden a #bike before— and #nyc is an admittedly challenging place to learn- come uptown and have fun with friends in a car-free #NYCbike #bikeNYC zone. Its an #urbanists delight.
Hello fellow Mastodon #urbanists the statewide #land-use and #transportation advocacy group 1000 Friends of Wisconsin is hiring a new Executive Director. Come lead a group changing how the whole state lives and moves through policy and education. #housing #zoning #urbanism #transit #policy
(declaration of interests: I am on the board, but not the hiring committee)
I’ve *finally* gotten around to reading The Death and Life of Great American Cities, by Jane Jacobs. And what has surprised me is how often she refers to “users”. I guess I somehow thought that was a more recent term of art associated with UX.
Is it fair to say that most online urbanists are the linux bros of cities and about as annoying?
Hey #Urbanists of Mastodon.
If anyone knows of any really good studies/papers that show how pedestrianisation has been a big benefit for local businesses, please can you share them.
EDIT: Thanks, everyone who sent me stuff. I think I have enough now

I could be more tolerant of abled urbanists/cycle advocates making sweeping statements about what drivers should be allowed or what infrastructure design is "better" if I ever saw them address accessibility for disabled drivers & disabled cyclists as a regular part of their practice, informed by actual co-leadership with disabled people. So far, at least for the social media, videos, talks & articles that cross my path, I don't see that. #Accessibility #Urbanists #BikeTooter
Quick tip for anyone who wants more urbanism/urban planning/cycling/public transport posts in their Mastodon feed.
Thanks to the wonders of the Fediverse, you can follow and post to Lemmy groups from Mastodon.
Here are some transport/planning/cycling groups to get you started:
For those unfamiliar with it, Lemmy is basically a federated version of Reddit, distributed across multiple servers like Mastodon. (For anyone who wants to delve further, lemmy.ml, beehaw.org, and aussie.zone are three popular Lemmy instances.)
From Mastodon, you can follow any Lemmy group by following its handle, exactly the same way that you would follow a Mastodon account. Any new posts to that group will then begin appearing in your Mastodon feed.
Even better, if you start a thread on Mastodon, you can also post it to a relevant Lemmy group just by including its handle in your post. (Please note this only seems to work with the first post of a thread.)

A new stretch of multi-use path is complete apart from paint on Stewart Street in Kitchener. I cycled along it, took some photos, and shared them with @DavidTrueman — and he has now already added the MUP into @openstreetmap
Paging fellow queers:
Is it only ever cishets (who call themselves things like #Urbanists) who use the term #motonormativity?
Another of my information streams on the subject of lithium is the #VisionZero #urbanists I follow here on Mastodon, who note that one of the many benefits of compact urban design, public transit, and a cultural focus on smaller lighter vehicles would be a dramatically smaller societal demand for lithium compared to a continued focus on individual ownership of midsized to large automobiles.
