If more citizens understood urban planning concepts, we'd have more liveable cities.

Here's one concept that everyone in snowy cities should easily understand.

(A bit harder to visualise here in Vancouver)

#sneckdown #urbanplanning #cities #cdnpoli
Snow is nature's urban planner: It can show us what parts of the roadway drivers don't use — and what can be reclaimed for pedestrians.

Post your photos and videos of all the #sneckdowns you see and tag us and @mayor.nyc.gov so today's winter wonderland can inspire better streets year-round!

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

I made sure I donated to the Immigrant Law Centre of Minnesota before saying something so frivolous but:

Ill be rooting for the Twins, Vikings, TWolves, Wild, Saints, Lynx, Frost, and FC to win all the championships all at once. And may the spirit of the North Stars live forever.

Thinking of all of our friends in the Twin Cities at this moment. What has always stood out to us during our time there and in frequent conversation with our fellow advocates is that what makes Minnesota special are the people. That's never been more clear than right now.

"First launched in 1974, Ciclovía is a program that shuts down city streets to cars once a week, on Sundays, and opens them to people walking and biking... In a city of 9 million, some 2 million residents of the city participate every week."

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

Can't believe I have to say this but climate change is responsible for extreme cold snaps.

I would normally cycle 10 km a day in the winter. Today, tomorrow and maybe Sunday are days were I won't.

Remember folks, just because its really cold outside with the #PolarVortex does not mean #climatechange is not happening. But rather we are seeing the extremes becoming more extreme.
