How we can save fuel on shorter journeys in cities — a simple, classic message that’s useful every day, but especially when fuel costs are spiking. Spread this #UrbanTruth around. Thanks to @davewalker.bsky.social & @cyclinguk.bsky.social.

Objectively, what you can do with the space taken up by freeways, like in Kansas City, is really wild.

If we don’t build housing to solve homelessness, we don’t really want to solve homelessness. #UrbanTruth

IMM DesignLab says: Downtown Spokane, WA, created by @ftb_cool! The red areas represent surface parking lots, while the purple ones indicate parking garages....Imagine if this space were repurposed for parks or housing. #nocars

These are all obvious and everyone already is aware of these and supports these solutions, just not for their city/suburb/town. “That works for (insert somewhere else), I need my car”. Its the same stupid debate over and over

If you don’t follow them already, it’s time to follow @urbantruth.bsky.social

It’s time to rewrite the narrative. Thank you @grantennis.bsky.social @tomflood.bsky.social @brenttoderian.bsky.social

Designing streets for people, not just cars. Wide, accessible sidewalks, lush tree canopy and benches create inviting public space.

Flexible curb zones, narrower vehicle lanes, dedicated bus lanes and protected bike lanes improve safety and climate resilience.

We have so many useless freeways, like the Innerbelt in Akron, which runs directly through Downtown Akron and carries only 60% of the traffic that Boylston St. in Boston does. Turn it into a boulevard with housing and green space.

You could create a neighborhood of 22,000 people by redeveloping the area immediately surrounding Cincinnati's Union Terminal.
