Love the intentionality of the article and underlying report in the language used to center those discriminated against (anti-Muslim) as well as the active expressions of racism vs passive “phobia”

Bien fait Genève ! C’est un projet tout à fait nécessaire pour une ville durable. Espérons juste que les parkings privés ne remplaceront pas nos logements ou petits commerces.

Love that not only has Geneva reduced parking in the public right-of-way by over 13%in the last decade, but that the local news media is basically taking sides that it’s a good thing.

So cool to see cutting edge projects here in Geneva. C’est vraiment une inspiration de découvrir un projet telle différent caché dans nos quartiers ici à Genève.

Not to mention that the Scottish tenements are generally individually owned flats, allowing for home ownership with a more affordable entry point and a lot smaller footprint than a standalone house.

En Suisse on parle souvent sur la bruit autoroutière, mais je me demande si on aurions le même résultat que Paris si nous baissions la vitesse de 120 à 100 km/h?

Yes. I have very specific taste in podcasts. Probably the #1 listener in 🇨🇭for @shrimpandcrits.com @monsterhourpod.bsky.social @eurowhat.bsky.social

Guy traded in his moped for 8 bikes: “(the moped) was practical, yes, but it was dangerous, solitary, noisy, and polluting” . While 8 is excessive, definitely prefer quiet e-bikes to loud scooters. And at least he admits he’s bobo 🤣

Honest question from a non-planner/architect: what would be necessary to feasibly build the more obvious solution of one building with 5 floors with a separate owner for each floor?

In honour of Montesong giving us our first song of #esc2025 here’s a classic from Црногорец Danijel (1983, Jugoslavija)

Can’t wait to see what The Kolors will bring. Always fun music. And I can’t wait for the chaos that Achille Laura has in store for us.

New definitions for “a yellow” in the Dictionary of the Academy Francaise. No mention of pejorative/racist/colonialist nature of term. And yet this is the government institution charged with the “improvement and promotion” of the French language.

Switzerland just blocked an expansion of their national highway system. Hoorah for turning the page on induced demand. Will hopefully lead to a swivel towards better train service 🤞🏼

Great to see a move to bring some semblance of sanity to the system. Whenever I travel via rail in the UK I always feel like I’m in Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. Am I going to have a massive fine for a technicality? Will the train service I want actually run? We’ll see!

Going to be a random hot take as a first post on blue sky but I’m convinced that open concept kitchens are garbage for anyone who actually cooks. Do I want my upholstery smelling like garlic every time I cook? No! Do I want my carpet retaining smells of when I burnt the bacon? No!
