After years of waiting, TU Delft is finally on the (tram) map. Yesterday, tram 19 reached the campus, and what a multimodal scene: trams, cycling, walking and green—all sharing the same car-free corridor. This is what a well-connected university looks like: making the right choice the easy choice.
A red and white tram passes cyclists riding on a protected bike lane with green space in between along a car-free corridor on the TU Delft campus.

Great stuff in principle. Pity its design seems to be car park with platform attached; perhaps the idea is you wait for the train in your car, there being no station building other than the meanest of bus shelters.

All looks very temporary atm, how great it could be with a half decent landscape work; suds planting, trees, seating, lanes for bikes (and buses?), cafes and retail allowed space, See eg Rue Molinel in Lille or Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal in Amsterdam.

Don't think it works like that. Profitability Rules were set up to maintain the status quo (Liverpool, Arsenal, ManU), with in City's case an Arsenal member leading the independent commission - doubtful the rules might be used against one of its own.

Dobropillia, in the Donetsk region. Russia swore these towns and their people needed to be "liberated." And so Russia came and liberated Donetsk towns, one by one, from their people, their homes, and life itself.

The four ceramic figures at KMH by Josef Franz Riedl (Physical Culture - Liberation - Education - Child Welfare) overlook 12.-Februar-Platz, a pleasant green space above a 200-space underground car park. Just one of several treed courtyards.

Two Red Vienna housing estates: Engelsplatz and Karl-Marx-Hof. Built with public baths, shops, cafes bars, surgeries, kindergartens, support centres, libraries, workshops, etc. But hmmm, try getting a coffee today - a small cafe is tucked inside a (privately run) squash club behind the KMH museum. 🧵

This is cool— apparently @adamtranter.bsky.social transformed a street parking space into a parklet (mini park/public space), but the municipality removed it because it wasn’t a mother vehicle. So he did this. Nice job. And dumb interpretation by city hall. Via Marco Te BrommelStroet on LinkedIn.
Pictures of a mini trucka-like vehicle with a little park/park bench on the flatbed in the back. So essentially a mini park on top of a vehicle.

Went earlier this year, builders let me in, top floor is lovely though competitively I personally would be useless being distracted by the great views of the city; lower 2 floors (concrete) were quite grim.

A colleague's near neighbour had rooftop solar panels with the battery indoors, now I think prohibited. It wasn't the fire that trashed the house as much as the water the fire service used to put it out. The roof and panels themselves collapsed into the house.

Very reassuring to learn that a blind man who drunk drove 150 miles to Scotland, without a licence or insurance, has been banned from driving for 12 months. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

To understand any town, it's a good idea to walk in/out in a straight line, taking in not just the centre but the burbs and transition/liminal space too.

8 protestors. From a village population of 3672, that's 1/459th. Thinking the problem here isn't them, there will always be objections to any change, but #BBC giving it a headline, and their reporter having nothing else to do.

*Such* a simple and effective apartment plan!!! Four homes, with 2 stairs and 2 elevators. Each living space is dual aspect and spans the full width of the building, no corridors. Bedrooms in the next bay for privacy, with a mix of 2-and-3 beds Social housing in Spain!

Agree with the commenter who "wouldn’t let any young man behind the wheel before 25". There are some responsible young people, but too many boy racers. Raise the driving age.
