“The truth about a city’s aspirations isn’t found in its vision. It’s found in its budget.” — @brenttoderian.bsky.social. #CityMakingMath

“Toderian has seen this dynamic play out repeatedly. In his view, the dividing line between cities that succeed and those that stagnate isn’t wealth or size—it’s mindset. Some places embrace experimentation, risk… Others default to caution, delay, and a reflexive belief that change is impossible.”

“We could never do THAT in OUR city!”

Leadership doesn’t make excuses.

“19: Plant a tree in your front yard, and fight for street trees on your street, in your neighborhood, and across your city. There are literally dozens of ways they make life better on streets and in cities. It’s one of the best investments a city can make.” — @brenttoderian.bsky.social

“2. Speak at City Hall in SUPPORT of something good for your city, rather than just going to oppose things. And before you oppose something (such as well-designed density, new housing choices, or affordable housing), think carefully about who it’s meant to help, and put yourself in their place.”

“The Kingston waterfront is not just underperforming, it’s actively hurting the city.”— @brenttoderian.bsky.social “His remarks came amid a sweeping presentation that blended global best practices with pointed local critique.” Will last week in Kingston Jamaica be the turning point the city needs?

“Smart cities also know that quality of bike-lanes is just as important as quantity, especially if what’s being built (or let’s be honest–what’s being painted) isn’t really safe, or comfortable.” — @brenttoderian.bsky.social in @fastcompany.com www.fastcompany.com/90361034/if-...

If you want people to choose living downtown or in urban places, you have uphold what @brenttoderian.bsky.social calls “the Urban Contract.” Our Downtown Sacramento Livability Strategy, which champions a lot more downtown housing in a real urban neighbourhood, is based on it. Read the Strategy.

Great crowd last night as @brenttoderian.bsky.social presented his “urban diagnosis” & recommendations on smart downtown city-building in Sarasota Florida, tackling issues including better tall buildings, & the “urban contract” ensuring not just downtown homes, but a great downtown neighbourhood.

Great crowd of commissioners, staff and the public in downtown Sarasota.

“22. When it’s budget time at City Hall, pay really close attention. It’s where the truth of your city’s aspirations is revealed. Insist that your political leaders show in detail how their spending decisions actually match the vision they’ve approved in their plans.” — @BrentToderian.bsky.social

Slide by @brenttoderian.bsky.social saying “The truth about a cities aspirations isn’t found in its vision. It’s found in its budget.”

“9. Take every opportunity to participate in civic life. Linger in and enjoy good parks, places, and streets every day, not just during special events. Your very presence and engagement adds life, vitality, and safety to a place, and helps them be more enjoyable for everyone.” #NewYearsResolutions
