These shades could be painted. They could have been delivered as painted - nonfigurative, but with traditional local colours, nature colours.
Would give a constantly changing "picture". Most dominant at times when the sun is hard, the structure behind being more visible mornings and evenings

Car crazy Denmark:

Ring 5 er ikke død endnu:

34 milliarder kroner gør det helt "urealistisk" at bygge motorvej mellem Køge og Helsingør
Altinget

Bødskov (S) kalder den "vigtig"!
Dahlin (V) mener den bør droppes.

DK er allerede europamester i antal km motorvej ift. befolkningstal.

This post is absolutely essential reading.
What was present in many national governments – lies, denial of science, and hatred for humanists – is now coming to our cities. We must say no!
Let's read it and share it widely.
Now more than ever, our cities must uphold the values of humanist urbanism.

This yellow structure makes me curious. Does anybody recognize it?

Standing. Stand somewhere, observe, try to understand. Without counting etc.: just see what is going on. That is the most basic form of learning, the basis of wisdom.

Most of the knowledge we need has been around for a long time.
1976: about the time when I rejected a driver's license. Inspired by what? I still don't know. But somehow I understood already then, that car society was heading the wrong way.

Vital City | Urban Design as Social Infrastructure Investments in the physical city are essential to achieving Zohran Mamdani’s goal of creating a fair and affordable New York.

Economy matters. Language matters. But our cities, our social world is physical.
I would have emphazised pedestrian and bicycle connections.
(Note that mayor Jens Kramer, mentioned here, was responsible for the first strategic scale bike bridge in Copenhagen.)

My "senior bike" is a lot more sexy, sporty and fun than I am.
And it keeps me safe and mobile, even in a winter with lots of slippery ice.

My own "conspiracy theory" is, that this topic was simply picked as one of many conflict zones, that could be utilized for sowing division, and for gathering gullible followers for other purposes.
By who? Any global actor, that would want to harm "us" (the part of the world where urbanism lives).

Annual campaign: We Bike To Work
(vcta)
Stimulating cycling with various incentives, and building team spirit in the workplace around cycling.
A success for more than 20 years.

What you write here is obvious to me. But I was wondering if there are any interesting explanations in this podcast?

My own impression is, that this was simply picked as one of many conflict zones, that could be utilized for sowing division, and for gathering gullible followers for other purposes.

What is their answer (in short) to the question they are posing here?

Fine, since you're gonna cry about it, we won't "Ban Cars", but we're gonna make some design changes.

Forward.

Fine!
But "special tricycle", as the caption says?
You seem to reproduce the typical mistake to let your idea of a user group skew your view of the thing itself.
This is plainly a "light" cargobike. With the usual, annoyingly cheap basket intended for "seniors".

"Gesture"? No, it's just bike share.

Some of us were quiet young when we started riding a trike 🙃

Infographic titled ‘Cleaner, Greener, Faster: Real Progress in Reducing GLA Group Emissions’. A line graph shows historic emissions in black and projected emissions under the current budget in green. The vertical axis is labelled ‘Tonnes CO2e’ ranging from 0 to 2,000,000. The horizontal axis shows years from 2015–16 to 2029–30. Historic emissions decline from around 1,600,000 tonnes in 2015–16 to just under 1,000,000 tonnes by 2022–23. Projected emissions continue downward, reaching about 400,000 tonnes by 2029–30. A black label reads ‘Emissions cut by 52% from 2015 to 2026’. A green label reads ‘On track for an 86% cut by 2030 with current funding’. Source: GLA Group Climate Budget 2026–27.

We have cut the emissions from the services we run by half since 2015.

Our climate budget puts an 86% cut by 2030 within reach.

Real action. Real results. 🌱

a world-leading urban space?

New study of media collision reporting from @patrickrerat.bsky.social

"Cyclists are placed at the center of the narrative, while motorists are either omitted or reduced to their vehicles... Making these biases visible is essential for challenging motonormativity"

findingspress.org/article/1575...

also - despite the fact that these bylaws are probably not being enforced - It's the message it sends to the world that kids are not welcome on their streets.

Superman was always woke.
;-)

But there are actually no examples of "the other side" using the term about urbanists.

Are you sure it started there?
So the @waroncars.bsky.social handle was an ironic answer to an existing discourse?

Algorithm changes + tags disappeared (a user tool for collective self-organizing around themes) + changed search:
users turned consumers.
Is disempowerment a word?

What do we know about
"linking to anything is penalized by the algo"
?

Well, you have to admit that the phrase "war on cars" is out there. It's all over bsky, and there is a famous podcast by that name.
And the criticism of car dominance has been around since the 70s.
Was it a smart move to coin the phrase? Maybe, I can't say. But you can't say it does not exist.

Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. I’m sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.

4 adults biking in a contraflow lane with a white car about to turn left Every leader should be required to ride a bike (if able) with a 6 year old before they provide any direction on bike infrastructure.

Years ago we had the mayor bike to school with my then 6 year old, within the first :30 seconds they were almost hit by a driver on live TV. Every leader should be required to ride a bike (if able) with a 6 year old before they provide any direction on bike infrastructure

And yet the only moral panic is about ebikes.

What kind of people would throw trash after random strangers?
...
Car brains.

Watching this "Drivers are not okay" thing from Europe, this sounds like a population under extreme stress.

Get in. We are going to crush oil On this planet.
