This is interesting — a recent study of mode share (the % share of transportation trips by car, transit, walking, biking etc) relative to city size and income levels in almost 800 cities in 61 countries. Interesting results. HT @davidzipper.bsky.social

Fantastic video from Shawn Grows:
This film traces how humanity’s craving for sweetness reshaped the world. From ancient India’s first crystallized sugar to the rise of Caribbean plantations & the birth of global empires, sugar transformed from a rare luxury into an addiction that fueled revolution.
