The difference between #placemaking and #placefaking lies in depth, authenticity, and community ownership. True placemaking emerges with people, not for them. Placefaking often looks good on paper or social media but lacks real engagement or sustained value.

"What if a municipality says: we can't or don't want to maintain things better? Then that's always a #political decision," Bassam argued.

Space is a #political space. Every battle over space is, at its core, a battle of #power.

This was the very first line I wrote in my first book, @thegenderedcity.bsky.social, and it remains the foundation of all my work. Cities are not neutral.

On 7 October, I will once again walk Tirana's streets, this time as part of Walk21, walking not only for inspiration but also to show how walking can be a tool for changing policy.

I am a runner, and it is getting unsafe to run in the #urban sphere anymore! We are changing that by running safety audits and starting in #utrecht. RSVP www.runherway.org/events.

The new season of yo(ur)ban Voice is back, this time with a #global, intersectional perspective. Shrinking #civic spaces, rising authoritarianism, and the silencing of dissent, women’s urban #stories are not just underrepresented; they are often deliberately erased.
