Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Ratcliffe is where populism leads. To multimillionaires spouting ignorant racist horseshit that divides us but unites the far right in their cynical bid to exploit prejudice for power. Ratcliffe will just shrug from his tax haven home. He doesn’t care. Farage laps it up. Everyone else loses.

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

Frans Halsstraat, Amsterdam in 1992 and today

In Anglo-Saxon architecture, Roman stone meets a timber way of thinking: stone becomes articulated into the Saxon timber-centric world view. I suppose, in this way, it is also a memory as well as a material. Here at All Saints', Earls Barton. 📸 my own.

After fifteen months of intensive reconstruction, the historic Amsterdamsestraatweg in Utrecht has emerged as a markedly greener, safer and more inviting urban thoroughfare—a physical testament to the city’s evolving transport priorities and ambitions for liveability, safety, and economic vitality.🧵

City transportation official opts for white line and signage instead of gate to keep their baby off the stairs.

Having said that, I do recommend putting this up on your biggest screen for some slow TV this evening. I'm watching right now while dinner is in the oven. While my platform inspiration originated from other cities in the Netherlands, Amsterdam still embodies what fascinates me about healthy cities.

Labour, Tories, Reform Ltd all agree that welfare spending should be cut (but #TaxTheRich - never!) saying it's out of control ... but compare the UK to Europe and we're near the bottom of helping those in need www.facebook.com/tim.longson/...

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

Tweede Weteringdwarsstraat, Amsterdam in 1969 and today. Urban space is finite. When cities prioritize people over car storage, streets can support local businesses, active transport, and community life.

They're lying!

In case you missed it, Utrecht, Netherlands has begun building the largest Dutch “car-free” neighbourhood. 12K people 6K homes 1.8K social rental homes 1.5 mid-range rental & affordable owner-occupied homes 21.5K bike parking spaces 250 shared cars 2 parcel hubs Parking structures on the edge.

Another example of us doing what is right for Londoners: More liveable neighbourhoods Healthier communities Fewer Collisions Fewer deaths and serious injuries Change isn’t easy, but I’m willing to make tough choices to make our city safer.

Always interesting to see a building in cross section, always sad to see a potentially useful adaptable building go. #demolition Would make a fine Aldi car park extension... because everyone drives the half mile there... because there's no active travel infrastructure around.

Quellijnstraat, Amsterdam in 1982 and today. A sea of parked cars replaced by trees, greenery, and outdoor seating - turning space for storage into space for neighbours to meet and socialise. A street redesigned for people.

Compstall Mill, Romiley. #heritageatrisk #neglect #faileddevelopment

#Rome Further to very positive threads about Paris bsky.app/profile/dyso... and Holland bsky.app/profile/dyso... - I now spend vacation time studying infrastructure. So what about Rome, the eternal city? 1/17

#Rome Interesting to catch up with the urban characters in a chapter of Eamonn*’s www.routledge.com/The-Politics... An urban conglomerate. * stuck on X, he still thinks it’s Twitter bless’im My reference map is from the excellent Nolli resource at web.stanford.edu/group/spatia...

#Rome Perambulations in palazzina-land: Parioli, Bologna, Gianicolense. Between urban walkability and car-dependent sprawl. The blocks are close enough to give a feel of urbanity, and in some places have an active ground floor which contributes to the city around. 6-storeys is good urban density.

#Rome To Corviale, 1975-84, Mario Fiorentino. Two previous visits to Rome had taken us to Quartiere Tintoretto and Casilino 23, both interesting. Big idea projects: coliseum, fan, and now line. Corviale is a line of 9-storey housing over car parking, almost 1km long. Hope you enjoy our visit. 1/10

#Rome #mosaicsonmonday Santa Maria in Trastevere, the apse sparkles with the golden mosaics of c1148 in the vault. They sit above more of the 13th century, and in turn frescoes by Agostino Ciampelli below that.

#Rome Monumento ai Martiri delle Fosse Ardeatine, 1944-49 Guiseppe Perugini + Nello Aprile, a powerful visually solid mass hovering above memorials to the 335 innocent civilians executed in the adjoining cave as a reprisal for partisan activity. 1/3

#Rome Appian Way, Casal Rotondo, where a medieval farmhouse sits on top of a 30BC circular tomb, accessed by spiral ramp. The assemblage of fragments into a brick wall left is by the 19C archaeologist Luigi Canina.

#Rome Complesso Belsito, Piazzale delle Medaglie d'Oro, 1950-53 by Ugo Luccichienti. 6-storey mixed use balconied beauty. 1/3

#Rome Quartiere Coppede "More is more... a near psychotropic confection" (Jonathan Meades)

#Rome San Saba, a church of ancient fragments, including Roman spoila columns, built and rebuilt with varied interventions over centuries. Its 8C frescoes are said to be the first instance of both Mary as subject and lapis lazuli as blue pigment.

Not just Trump...

❌ Dull. Car dependent, with its own multi-storey. Failure to integrate 19C mill heritage. Gated community (illegally on public space). ✔️ But more of this needed @stockportcouncil.bsky.social Town centre rot can only be reversed by the presence of people; suburban sprawl has nothing to contribute.

I can’t understand how the restoration of the Houses of Parliament will cost… £15 billion! That’s…. £133,000 a square metre! For context, to build a brand new skyscraper in London is around £10,000 /m2. What the hell? www.politico.eu/article/mp-q...
