There is a real opportunity to make bus stops playful spaces. Would definitely help make waiting at a bus stop with smallies less stressful! Sufficient vertical and horizontal shelter and visual interest too please. Opportunities to sit. @PlayfulParadigm @APlayfulCity

A great quote from Danish architect Jan Gehl shared by @NathalieWeadick during @riotsligo: “First life, then spaces, then buildings – the other way around never works… Make it nice where you are, and put the density on top.” #placemaking #sligo #riotsligo

As part of the #NCADBETA collaboration with @ncad_service @ixd_ncad, one of the teams focussed on how residents in a locality might get local buy-in and consensus to make changes to ‘their’ street. They neatly solved a few aspects for #NeighbourhoodBETA youtu.be/jY4_yMVdV-g

They’re here! At long last the main street in Sligo has her first ever street trees, raised into position as light closed on today’s beautiful autumn evening. Two stand, but one more to go. #acerplatanoidesgreenemerald #nomoretreesinboxes #oconnellstreet #sligocountycouncil

Good morning #Berlin and Beyond! Here's a piece of very positive news to start the day with: several new Stadtbäume, or City Trees, have been planted in Riemannstr. in #Kreuzberg. Sponsored by private people, in this case by Hannah & Kolja - whom we thank and say "Jut jemacht!"
