A new client just contacted me after watching this podcast interview.

They said they were attracted by the blunt title, “How To Actually improve A City.”

Inspiration is very important, but ideas, action, leadership and much more persuasive communication are key to the urban change we badly need.

“We went awry by replacing, in effect, each horse on the crowded city streets with half a dozen or so mechanized vehicles, instead of using each mechanized vehicle to replace half a dozen or so horses.”

— Jane Jacobs, The Death and Life of Great American Cities

'Encouraging creative theft'.
Would this work in USAnian cities? Certainly in some neighborhoods.

Photo text excerpt from #BillMollison's autobiography, Travels In Dreams. "In 1979, I had persuaded the South Melbourne council to plant fruit trees in public places. The old Scots city engineer who agreed to do this remembered that in his training courses he had been told never to plant useful trees in public places. 'We accepted that as law, he mused, 'and now I wonder why?'. That evening, we set out twenty or so fruit trees at the entrance to the council chambers. Next day, they had all been dug out and removed; stolen. 'Good,' says I. 'How's that?' says the engineer. 'We don't have to plant, water, or tend them now.' This made so much sense, we were able to lose a few thousand trees in one season, just by putting out the pots near empty holes (they were easier to steal, and in better condition). In time the thefts tapered off, and we could safely plant some ourselves. But by then, the whole suburb was planted and we could see trees over hundreds of fences. A very cheap way to plant and rear trees, we thought. It saved the council hundreds of dollars and I still sometimes think of patenting the system for public savings. I call it 'encouraging creative theft' (E.C.T.)."

Regendruppels op de donkergroene bladeren van eeuwig moes beschenen door de doorbrekende zon. De lichtgroene bladeren zijn snijbiet.

First asparagus spear! Not pictured. Pictured is the second spear which is much smaller but… I accidentally pulled up the real first one… so I ate it. Can’t waste! Still though, ASPARAGUS!

Upon arrival; My pawpaw babies are fine.
And it's lovely to cycle a proper recumbent again!

My garden upon arrival; a lush variety of edible and useful plants growing in a dense, natural mini jungle. Sofar I watered only 5 times this year, so I think the ecosystem is starting to be self sufficient. In the foreground, the titanium shockproof. This is one of the small pawpawtrees that was recently planted. It's doing fine, it even grew new leaves. On the background there is "eeuwig moes" (thousandhead?) and" snijbiet"(chard) amongst others. Even the Calamondin, that has to make the best of it in a pot, is fine.
