Research from Sweden puts the lifetime cost of car ownership at nearly £500,000 - of which 41% is shouldered by society. From air pollution to road deaths, congestion to climate emissions, the damage caused by our car-first culture extends far beyond individual drivers.

Did you know? It can take someone 65 years old twice as long to walk to the bus as someone under 35 years old. Walking is essential to public transport, but walking times are not one-size-fits-all.

“…en Artà, una mujer de 30 años fue atropellada mientras cruzaba una calle acompañada de su hija por un paso de peatones. El impacto fue de tal magnitud que la víctima sufrió heridas de gravedad…”

Consider two questions:

How much of your urban walking is done on extremely narrow sidewalks?

How much public space is dedicated to car parking?

Removing parking space everywhere is a big step forward. Let’s reclaim the streets for nature and pedestrians

“Cities should be ideal places for enabling active travel with shorter distances to the things we need or want on a regular basis, including supermarkets, places of leisure, work or healthcare,” Professor Whitty’s report says. By @carltonreid.com

We organised our very first Jane’s Walk in El Puerto de Santa María last weekend! A fantastic way of bringing people together, listen to the community, raising awareness and inspiring solutions for our cities issues

La eficiencia es la piedra angular de un sistema de transporte decente y sus beneficios para el bienestar urbano son enormes.

NEW STARTER PACK! I decided that “Better Transportation & Mobility” deserved its own starter pack. There are others out there on transportation, streets, bikes, public transit etc but this one has my faves. Who have I missed? Please explore, follow and share! #UrbanistShoutOut go.bsky.app/MBL7PrE

A list to add Pedestrian advocates, academia and relevant organisations and individuals that believe in more sustainable cities where walking (for all) is at the top of the mobility pyramid.

En Andalucía nos ocurre lo mismo, las nuevas urbanizaciones están totalmente enfocadas a la dependencia del coche, no existe ya el comercio local y tu única opción es moverte con vehículo al supermercado.

Let’s start putting together a walking advocacy and academic pack!

Walking is not only a natural right. Walking is a legitimate use of public space and people should be supported and encouraged to choose to walk. Being an essential part of sustainable mobility, walking improves health and liveability of communities. It's the past, present and future of mobility

We All Make Sacrifices.

Bringing people together and collectively thinking about solutions while embracing mutual care is a radical step forward
