alojapan.com/1227510/traveling Traveling in Japan: Exploring Tokyo on foot #JapanTrips #Tokyo #trips #WalkableCity #walking (Photo: Cory Schadt / Unsplash) While Tokyo is undoubtedly renowned for its extensive and efficient train network, there’s another way of getting around that deserves some praise–exploring on foot. Despite being one of the largest metropolises in the world, Tokyo offers pedestrian-friendly streets and neighborhoods, making it one of the most walkable…

Arvind organizes "Let's walk Helsinki!" walks where a local Left candidate takes him for a stroll around an area of their choosing.

We walked in Hietalahti, Ruoholahti and Jätkäsaari for our walk!

While I was #walking to the shop this morning, I realised I didn't know if it would be open yet. Then I got curious about this, and specifically for walkers and cyclists. Do you check opening hours beforehand? Or do you just set out or make a spontaneous detour, knowing that if it turns out to be closed you've at least had some extra fresh air and exercise (so lost absolutely nothing)?
My hunch is that it's a thing, but it's a hunch only. #WalkableCity #Cycling

Continued thread

Americans LOVE buses! Airport shuttles, hotel shuttles, resort shuttles, tour buses, ski shuttles, beach shuttles!

They can't get enough of buses when they are
- HIGH FREQUENCY
- connect places they want to be, especially WALKABLE places!!

Let's add more buses and bus routes! More public transit means less cars and less traffic!

"Paris has closed more than 100 streets to motor vehicles, tripled parking fees for SUVs, removed roughly 50,000 parking spots, and constructed more than 1,300 kilometers of bike lanes since Mayor Anne Hidalgo took office in 2014. Those changes have contributed to a 40% decline in air pollution."

If you ever are in the position to design a new neighborhood,
and you've seen this video...
and you're still doing it wrong, you would either be a idiot or a #ForProfit criminal.

With a few, remarkably cheap guide lines, your design will be so much better.

1) Solar orientation [ #PassiveSolarDesign ]
2) [Rain-] Water storage in water tanks; the excess storm water in basins [ #Wadi #Swale]
3) No garages -> This one I [JdeB] find a bit problematic. How about charging EV's. Good and solid transport alternatives should be provided. This also means a #WalkableCity . A #15MinCity <-
4) Less roads [always a good thing]

"So it's really less of an issue of money to make a good neighborhood than it is an issue of intelligence and information"

#introduction for new server. I moved my anarchist account and I hope this will be the last time. :)

I'm Aidan -- nickname Bird, hence my screenname here: TheBird.

I am a #nonbinary, #queer, #disabled #ScienceFiction #writer. I have #LongCovid, and it sucks. I am still working on diagnoses for other possible chronic illnesses.

I have a second account at Aaidanbird@disabled.social, where I focus on needs of that community there.

My Elivera world is a solarpunk world, where I explore various #AntiCapitalist ways of existing. Capitalism has never existed on Elivera and will never exist. A lot of the "nations" of Elivera are run by horizontal democracy and are experiments with collectives (some anarchist in bent and others experiments with communist approach to society).

I have a SUPER FLUFFY cat named Sgt. Quark Amaya McFluffers. He's my little buddy.

And that's about it. I'm not new to Mastodon by the way. I'm just posting this so I can pin it for others to see.
