Found this cool-sounding initiative to make a major #Indian city more #representative, #safer, #livable, etc, through a public engagement platform.

But the manifesto, platform, social media, etc, are all just in one language - #English.

So...who does this really represent?

Ever tried walking your city and thought: ‘Where can I even sit down?’
@heigit.org's #hiWalk just added a feature that maps benches + another one for water fountains.
Good for the elderly, good for everyone. Because #walkable cities = #livable cities

Some of us #younger #Baby #Boomers who don’t have #high #incomes — because few people are paid #livable incomes anymore — haven’t yet paid off our #mortgages. We’re desperately hoping we can afford to keep living in our homes.

California is one of the most beautiful places in the world—but we are facing an AFFORDABILITY crisis.

Does densification lead to more heat stress in cities? High temperatures and more frequent heatwaves are causing many people to doubt whether high-density urban planning is still sustainable. However, building physicist Jan Carmeliet argues that even dens...

Do dense cities mean more #heat? Not necessarily. ETH Zurich researcher Prof. Jan Carmeliet shows that smart #densification + strategic greening can make #urban areas more #livable — and #cooler. A new blog post explores how thoughtful planning can reduce heat stress in cities.

Why aren't Americans filling the manufacturing jobs we already have? Leaders from both major political parties have been working to bring back manufacturing. But American manufacturers say they are struggling to fill the manufacturing jobs we already have.

500k manufacturing jobs in the US; they weep, "No one wants to work."

As always & usual, it's actually 'they don't want to pay'. Spoiled by decades of overseas exploitation & wow, it shows.

Yes. Anthropocentric recklessness is something we need to turn away from for #future #livable #climate (like, last century). We have the solutions, it's dominant ideology that needs to shift #climatecrisis

#QuebecCity is really doing a great job at becoming more #livable in #winter.

They have all sorts of illuminated night activities like pop-up cooled skating rinks, sliding hills, outdoor concert venues and leaving stairs/bridges open. ❄️

Also love the pedestrian scrambles at intersections!🤩

I have to agree. While many think it's the US. Granted the elections have a lot to do with it. But, overall, despite the 'perceived' harsh Canadian winters, it's a great place to live. #canada #graduates #livable
