When you #walk or #cycle through your city, how much space is taken by #parking spots? Last week, CEO & Founder of #Mobycon, Johan Diepens, discussed this question & the theme of "No Such Thing As Free Parking" at #NCPM! Photo Credits: National Congress of Parking & Mobility

Dutch street redesigns often look like their renderings because they transplant mature trees, not saplings, offering shade where it’s needed now, not decades later. This Mobycon podcast episode (@mobycon.bsky.social) dives into why that matters.
