Indeed! Also, the Pfizer ad brilliant — the most beautiful ad I've ever seen. youtu.be/fwvjimuwVyY?si=baXP…

Disney just showed you how wonderful their stories are in a Super Bowl ad, without using a single image. Just iconic phrases from their films. I really like this. Really cut through all the other ads.

Auch in #Paris waren gestern etliche Straßen fürs Gehen und Radfahren und für Kinder zum Spielen geöffnet. Ergebnis: "In der Stadt 40 % weniger Autoverkehr, bis zu 20 % weniger Luftverschmutzung", berichtet Bürgermeisterin @Anne_Hidalgo

Hannovers Mobilität von morgen: Bis 2030 werden Bereiche der Innenstadt neu gestaltet. Für eine zukunftsgerechte und lebenswerte Stadt wird das Zentrum nahezu autofrei und der Fuß- und Radverkehr in den Mittelpunkt gestellt: hannover.de/mobilitätskonze…

"Toronto takes on the Dutch-style intersection. ...“Dutch-style” intersections are designed to offer physical separation for bike riders and improve safety through features like priority traffic signalling and clear and colourful lane markings." bicyclenetwork.com.au/newsro…

Cities have a long-standing experience of promoting cycling 🚲🏙️.  A new Eurocities policy paper taps into those lessons to advice the @EU_Commission ahead of the release of its historic #cycling declaration▶️ mvnt.us/m1460176 #EUGreenDeal

The more people that choose to walk, bike and take public transit to get around cities, the better cities work for EVERYONE, including DRIVERS. Anyone still claiming this is a “war on the car” doesn’t understand how cities work. HT @IBikeSafe for graphic.

Utrecht is a true cycling city. With over 420 kilometers of cycle paths, many people travel by bicycle to and across the city. As seen in this beautiful map, there are very few places where one cannot cycle! 🚴‍♂️ Made with Python by Jean-Luc Jucker, PhD: ow.ly/GsIm50Naxzq

Never forget, multimodal streets (aka “complete streets”) are simply more efficient, because they move, hold & serve more people within the same space. Whether you think streets are just for moving people, or are for a LOT more, they’re just better. HT @NACTO #citymakingmath

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them. Via @StreetsblogUSA usa.streetsblog.org/2019/05/…

A personal story about Satya Nadella's superpower from a Microsoft VP: "A few weeks after I joined Microsoft, Satya randomly called me and my manager to chat. During those 30 minutes, he only asked questions. He asked about our thoughts on the product strategy, Microsoft’s culture, and what we thought needed change. Here you have this CEO of a $2 trillion company just listening to two new employees instead of telling us what to do. That’s remarkable. Later on, I realized that this is how Satya gathers signal. He’s really good at getting different points of view from different sources and then connecting the dots on what needs to be fixed. It’s remarkable that he can do this without falling into the temptation of telling you what to do." As Satya himself wrote in his book, Hit Refresh: "Listening is the most important thing that I accomplished each day because it would build the foundation of my leadership for years to come."

It surprises some to learn that for a long time, Paris was a city choking in car traffic. There are still a lot of cars, but few other global cities have been transforming streets as quickly & dramatically in recent years. Leadership. HT @JamesdeStafford

Mira Murati is the most powerful CTO in the world. As CTO of OpenAI, she has led the work on ChatGPT, DALL-E, the OpenAI API, GPT-4, and much more... And she only graduated college in 2012 🤯 Here's Mira's amazing story: 1/10

I'm turning Chronotrains into a trip planning tool. Think Google Flights, but for trains in Europe. Because 🚆 are cooler than ✈️.

From Manhattan to San Francisco, the need to rethink the urban core is encouraging business improvement districts to change their tune on prioritizing cars.  bloomberg.com/news/features/…

NYC: narrowing streets taking back space from cars to create spaces for people. This is why transit matters. To apply this to Toronto, the more people arrive downtown by transit, the more viable this is for getting around in city. Ontario Line is golden to enable this. Gardiner rebuild is not.

🚶‍♀️🚲🚌🚙 Short history of Traffic Engineering: ➡️ Connectivity in the 21st century follows the filtered permeability concept: Networks for walking and cycling should be more permeable than the road network for motor vehicles.
