Albert Broder (1934–2025). The academic community has lost an irreplaceable figure of reference. The greatest tribute we can pay to Professor Broder is to continue his work: by loving teaching, continuing his research, and looking after our friends. Reading his work is the best way to begin.

An underrecognized classic in @jtransporthist.bsky.social: In their struggle for a place in Santiago’s streets, Tomás Errázuriz reveals how pedestrians never surrendered. An official discourse of order and rationalization was contradicted by the daily necessity of improvisation and risk taking.
