"A really cool sight I stumbled upon yesterday in Salthill... A solar-powered park bench serving as a phone charging station and offering public WiFi!

*Very* #Solarpunk! 🌞"

h/t to @VallescuraRule, copied from his BS account

I love this. I love big, grand, multi-problem-solving / #accessibility solutions in #UrbanPlanning - but sometimes, just a single bench can do so much. 🎉
A bright yellow park bench where the seat is also a large solar panel (and offers charging ports for portable devices as well as public WiFi). Text is printed on it in Irish and in English. English text reads: "The sunlight that powers this bench travelled over 149 million km to charge your phone" (Irish text is a translation of the same). Also shown is the logo of Galway City Council.

I can't recommend this video highly enough. It gives an all too realistic assessment of what autonomous vehicles will do to our cities, and it's not good.

@breadandcircuses Hope it's ok to tag you on this; it seems like something you might be interested in.

Bigger vehicles can be safer in crashes, but far more dangerous for pedestrians.

And the average size of cars and trucks in the U.S. continues to grow. Some current models – like that of the Toyota Rav4 – are a third larger than they were only 15 years ago.

That’s led to a 77% increase in pedestrian fatalities since 2010.

Graphic with two cars speeding through crosswalk. The text reads: "Larger, heavier and deadlier. Cars are getting bigger on US roads, and that's increasing pedestrian and cyclist deaths. Here's how communities can fight back."

Ever-larger cars and trucks are causing a safety crisis on US streets – here's how communities can fight back

Cars are getting bigger on US roads, and that’s increasing pedestrian and cyclist deaths. A transport scholar identifies community-level strategies for making streets safer.

“Fun fact: #SimCity was forced to pretend that all parking lots were underground because the game would be really boring if it was proportional in terms of parking lots.”

Boring like too many real places ruined by too much parking?

We Should Be Building Cities for People, Not Cars

The way we live is shaped by our infrastructure—the public spaces, building codes, and utilities that serve a city or region. It can act as the foundation for thriving communities, but it can also establish unhealthy patterns when designed poorly.
