The easiest way to visualize this mixed-use infill concept—integrating apartments with a local market and yoga studio right in a suburban Ottawa neighborhood—was to get help from AI.

Photo of a highway with a section of road conspicuously missing, with the text: "WE'RE NOT SEEING DRIVERS USING THE NEW BRIDGE WE BUILT." And then "CONNECTED NETWORKS ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE ON BIKES AS THEY ARE FOR THOSE DRIVING CARS."

And this is also just what a WALKING culture looks like, as opposed to a driving one.

Mellow, naturally thin, not due to “working out,” but due to LIVING actively, naturally, because your gams take you where you need to go 9 times out of 10.

"Unknowingly or not, Sesame Street’s creators aligned themselves with the ideas of Jane Jacobs, whose 1961 book The Death and Life of Great American Cities had become the bible for urbanists.

It's interesting how here part of sidewalk was taken away from us for bikeways and very soon e-scooters started spawning and now food delivery bikers.
Makes one wonder how much it was a conspiracy of the government and tech bros.
Bikeways made walking miserable.

#walkablecities

Even going outside is miserable now, as if dog shits and graffiti and all the ugliness and dirt wasn't enough.

A narrow dirt path bordered by greenery leads downhill between a brick wall and a white fence in Antananarivo, Madagascar. Cows graze on the lush grass beside the path, with a mix of urban buildings visible in the background under a cloudy sky.

Urban cows. What the small car-dependent minority don't see and don't know is that Antananarivo is a patchwork of walkable villages.
