The weather may not be the best for this right now but check out the revamped Port Lands and Biidasige Park. It doesn't look like a lot now, but if you read this feature from @alexbozikovic.bsky.social, you'll understand how incredible the environmental restoration work is (gift link).

Watatatow. Regardez-moi cette saillie de trottoirs drainante à Vancouver. C'est un petit village à elle toute seule. À vélo ou à pied, on ne peut que s'y arrêter. C'est de toute beauté. Toutes les rues qui permettent ce genre d'aménagements devraient être comme ça.

Toronto’s youth deserve more than just a place to be, argues @lanrickbennett.bsky.social - they need "third spaces" where they can shape their own sociability and recreation. The City can help create those spaces. spacing.ca/toronto/2025...

Another hint into one of the great features of contemporary French institutional arrangement: the État "encadre, oriente et orchestre" providing the legislative, technical and organizational framework, while leaving ample margins to localities to set their own priorities. They do not micromanage.
