Watch 90 sec. great Jan Gehl.

• I always feel that it's better if you have lower housing and people are part of the city, and not part of the airline system
• If you provide better invitations to walk, bike, public spaces, you get more of that

Going to the beach is good for your brain, according to science
Visiting the coast can help you relieve stress and get more active—and it may even change the way you cope with pain.

As scientists are fired + research is frozen, so too are all the resources and outcomes that would have benefited society.

The Dutch live, on average, 2.4 km away from the nearest supermarket. In urban centres, that distance drops to less than 500 meters. In combination with extensive cycling infrastructure, this ensures that most people don't need a car for daily shopping.
