7. A City is Not a Computer - Other Urban Intelligences by @shannonmattern.bsky.social. bsky.app/profile/moda...
“Filtering urban design through algorithms and interfaces tends to bracket out those messy and disorderly concerns that simply ‘do not compute.’ We're left with the sense that everything knowable and worth knowing about a city can fit on a screen—which simply isn't true.” @shannonmattern.bsky.social

I'm back on @businessinsider.com with a new piece about how the Return-To-Office fight is getting dirty, with executives demanding workers return to the office based on nothing but vibes - and how the media is helping by championing extremely questionable anti-remote studies.
The fight over return-to-office is getting dirty
Bosses pushing return-to-office policies are relying on a few, questionable studies to back up the claim that remote work is less productive.

An ingenious illustration by Swedish artist Karl Jilg shows just how car-centric our reality is.
In the image, Jilg depicts city streets as gorges, crosswalks as wobbly planks, and sidewalks as shallow ledges to show how little space pedestrians are allowed to inhabit in a typical intersection.
