🚴♀️🌳 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 🌟🌍 In 2007, Paris was suffocating—literally, shrouded in smog, with air pollution blanketing the city. Today #Paris has undergone a breathtaking transformation, towards a cleaner, greener, and more livable city. Millions of Parisians can breath again! This radical change started in 2014, under Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s bold leadership. Her vision? To put people and the planet first. Here’s how she and her team did it: ✅ Built 100s of Kilometers of Bike Lanes: Encouraging cycling as a primary mode of transport. ✅ Citywide 30 km/h Speed Limit: Quieter, safer streets for all. ✅ 300 Car Free School Streets: putting the safety of children first. ✅ Reclaimed Public Spaces: Eliminated tens of thousands of parking spots, converting them into parks, pedestrian zones, and playgrounds. ✅ Planted Tens of Thousands of Trees: Tackling the urban heat island effect and improving air quality. ✅ Car-Free Zones: Closed the city center to through traffic and created car-free play streets. 🚨 The results? Air pollution now affects only the largest roads, like the ring road. Millions of Parisians enjoy cleaner air, safer streets, and a higher quality of life. 🌟 This transformation is proof that bold, visionary urban policies work. Paris didn’t just adapt; it reimagined itself. And it took a courageous and visionary leader to do it. ❓ The big question: When will other leaders muster the courage to follow in Paris’s footsteps? Let’s commit to building cities for people, not just cars. The future is waiting. 💪🌏 #UrbanTransformation #Paris #Sustainability #Leadership #CleanAir #CyclingRevolution #CitiesForPeople H/T: Ingwar Perowanowitsch and Alexis Marchand
Het entreegebied Amsterdam UMC locatie AMC in Amsterdam Zuid-Oost is veranderd in een groene oase. De directe omgeving is omgetoverd tot "een groen park met fruitbomen, struiken, grassen, diverse plantensoorten en een kruidentuin". Er zijn ook vele houten banken, gemaakt door Stadshout Ze nodigen bezoekers, medewerkers, studenten en omwonenden uit om even van de natuur te genieten. Hier hebben we Margriet 🌼 van der Drift ontmoet om van gedachten te wisselen over het thema verbonden zijn met de omliggende natuur tijdens je werkdag. En tijdens een #weeting door het 6,5 hectare grote natuurterrein Klarenbeek spraken we over buiten zijn, buiten in beweging blijven en buiten werken met jouw collega’s. Buiten Gewoon Werken all the way! #buitengewoonwerken #outdoorofficeday #urbannature #urbannatureamsterdam
Let’s make 2025 a year when we’ll experience less #burnout Just published on MIT Sloan Management Review, the new SMART model for improving work design ‘supports change that increases employee engagement and reduces stress’. Sharon K. Parker and Caroline Knight propose a model describing key positive characteristics needed by workers in order to experience a more engaging and fulfilling work experienc:. • stimulating work • mastery • autonomy • relational work • tolerable demands Very human needs such as connectedness, setting boundaries, pride in the delivered work, space to engage and freedom to dream, social support are key. Listen to your colleagues and start small. We think adding nature and freedom to stay active outdoors during work, will improve the connectedness, creative process and the physical and mental wellbeing. https://lnkd.in/gvt5tvpF #smartmodel #natureconnection #outdooroffice #outdoorofficeday

Buiten is het herfstig, binnen aan de keukentafel een gesprek met Marieke Karssen en Frank Gorter de voedselboscast. Leuk!
Veel mensen dromen ervan, maar goede vrienden Maud Aarts, Dagobert Bergmans en Jessica van Bossum hebben het gewoon gedaan: hun hele Amsterdamse hebben en houden ingeruild voor een bestaan als boer in Twente. Ze werken full time om een reguliere melkveehouderij van 25 hectares om te vormen naar de duurzame, biologische, regeneratieve voedselbosboerderij en -kwekerij Voedselbos Glanerbeek, waar al snel plaats is voor meerdere boeren-verdienmodellen. Ze zijn nu twee jaar bezig. Hoog tijd dus om eens te vragen hoe het met hen gaat.
