On December 18, join us for an evening in Amsterdam where we talk about Speed and Safety in cities. Register here: https://lnkd.in/e44PQ6Xe Vehicle speeds, whether cars, trucks, or e-bikes, profoundly affect our experience of cities. What feels too fast or too slow often depends on the place we occupy in traffic: a pedestrian may feel endangered by a motorist’s speed, while the motorist simply wants to reach their destination. Traditionally, fixed speed limits have been the solution, but these don’t account for the dynamic nature of urban spaces, nor the emergence of new vehicle types. Unsafe streets push people into safer vehicles, but in doing so, we risk neglecting making safer streets. To create safer, more livable streets, we need to rethink our approach to speed regulation, considering the evolving complexity of urban life. This event marks the start of our journey towards the Speed Summit in 2025. The conversation opens with Carl Honoré, Luca Bertolini, Marjolein de Lange, and Onno Kramer exploring what should come first for liveable cities: safe streets or safe vehicles. Event Details: Wednesday, 18th December 2024 At 20:00 hours. Grote Zaal, Pakhuis de Zwijger, Piet Heinkade 179, 1019 HC Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Free Admission. Registration via https://lnkd.in/e44PQ6Xe

Just over a week to go till I'm on stage in Amsterdam wrestling with big questions like: 1. What does a safe, liveable street look like? 2. How should we integrate faster bikes into urban transport? 3. Is there a right speed for moving through a city? Can't wait! #urbanism #slowurbanism #urbantransport #safecities #slowcities #slowcity #cittaslow #slowmovement

https://lnkd.in/dcNkrqhT #digitalurbanism This a beautiful idea! To not make it permanent is supporting the experience, less city planning, more tactical but for the moment in time.

What would John Bradfield do? | Master of Urban Planning Student at University of Melbourne | President of the Urban Collective | Accessibility, mobility, innovation, and transport justice
Exciting news out of Los Angeles this week, where voters overwhelmingly approved Measure HLA to expedite the implementation of the existing Mobility Plan. The genius behind this measure is yoking the bull of automobility; by tying multimodal mobility improvements to the steady march of the street reconstruction schedule, measure HLA will move the Mobility Plan from its current rate of completion (160 years!) to full implementation within 15 years. This is how the Dutch fixed their streets, and its exciting to imagine how different Los Angeles could look a decade from now. Angelinos have again clearly demanded a walkable, bikeable, liveable city; and now they have a path forward to achieving that goal. Read more about the plan here: https://lnkd.in/gqCjuEA6
