250 Meters of Happiness. That’s how Delhi based NGO HumanQind describes their school street that was co-created with school kids. Really blown away. Great model. Thanks to Car Free Cities Alliance for hosting. More info at www.humanqind.org

I usually post images of good infrastructure to inspire change. Sometimes it’s useful to look around & identify the problem. School zone at lethal speed in developing area right outside Austin shows how not to design a safe school zone

First post over here. Love to engage about how to make cities better. My current favorite is in Barcelona where they remade a street into a green social place with a water square right in the heart of the city. Love to see more ambition like this
