Yet another reminder that housing policy should be designed first and foremost to meet the housing needs of citizens. Introducing unfair loopholes to incentivise immigration has (predictably) backfired. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Netflix's Miyazaki doc is blissful. Seeing him drive to work in a battered (left hand drive!) 2CV, and then hearing from his late producing partner who seems to be a bit of a jerk, and then at the end when the Toho suits come in, I did wonder whether he has made as much money as he might.

In Denmark and elsewhere in the Nordics we have received prepping lists from the government in light of recent geopolitical escalations, but i havent heard of anybody developing community prepping initiatives. Inspiring. newrepublic.com/article/1896...

Bracing for the first Trump administration, I joined a food co-op. Heading into a second, I’m more convinced than ever that resilience is cultivated through communities, not individuals.

Highly recommend the Open City podcast with @matthewlloydr.bsky.social for all urbanists. London is a unique city but so many of the topics covered are universal, and the podcast does a great job of digging deeper incl. some genuine debate with high profile guests. open.spotify.com/show/35kdEOF...

I definitely need to find a copy of this - looks great.
Rad. Never in a million years thought I'd be holding a book I wrote.

Thanks to Island Press and my editor Heather Boyer.

Thanks to Alex Steffen, Dave Roberts, and Carlos Moreno for the incredibly kind words.

Let's get to work building better, more affordable, and climate adaptive cities!

“Non-speculative housing” is such an empowering alternative to the heavily politicised alternative labels.
for over 30 years after the war - non-speculative housing was roughly half, or more - of all housing built in the UK.

Is it OK to ride a fixie in 2024? Are we past the bike lane tribal nonsense of London circa 2005?

I love Copenhagen. The cycle lane I use on the school run each morning…

Great news: Cycling in London is gaining momentum.

Every day, 1.33 million journeys are made by bike in the capital—that’s an increase of 26% since 2019.

I’ll keep working hard with boroughs to make our streets even safer, encouraging more Londoners to travel on two wheels.

Paris definitely wasn’t always this way. This is very recent. It wasn’t magic. It just took vision and leadership. Your city could choose leadership too.
