Something is cooking in the South African economy. Record building plans, no loadshedding, high trade surplus, dropping interest rates, rising confidence 🔥

"Smart mobility technology" is not going to fix traffic in cities. Trains and buses will. Please stop the performative nonsense.

On the bottom: a raised crosswalk with daylighting, where the intersection narrows for better visibility and shorter crossing distance.

On the top: a traditional crosswalk where the sidewalk essentially disappears into the road for crossing.

Here’s a friendly challenge for all of you excited about Bluesky & the big opportunity we have here — please try to get this starter pack to as many people as you can who don’t normally spend much time thinking about how cities are built, city planning, smart transportation, etc.

They’re important.
HERE IT IS! My 1st Urbanism & City-Building Starter Pack. I’ll keep adding to it as more city champions arrive here on Bluesky & I discover more of you. Please share this far & wide to support and grow our urbanism community here. Our cities need all the help they can get! go.bsky.app/G7isZfk

I really hope this is like the early days of Twitter. What a magical place that was. Found some life long friendships there.
