Finally it's here: Jupyter notebooks inside QGIS. I don't know about you but I've been hoping for someone to get around to doing this for quite a while.

This is cool, and I'm not sure when this happened, but the default style on OpenStreetMap now shows urbanization starting at z level 7. It seems to be based on landuse=residential

This is interesting — a recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social
