It's like a touch of #Vienna in #Kuregem. #socialhousing #Brussels #architecture

For 30 years Thalys/Eurostar has dominated international train #travel to/from #Paris Gare du Nord. End of this year #GoVolta is launching a #lowcost slow train from #Amsterdam to Europe's busiest rail hub, via #DenHaag, #Ghent and #Arras, creating new connections between France & the Benelux.

Well deserved! A massive social housing block in #Anderlecht dating from 1976 housing 378 families renovated by Karbon architects wins the Flemish #architecture prize. Insulation was improved & balconies were added all along the 95 m. long building. More pics & background: karbon.be/fr/projets/1...

A typical European car is parked 92% of the time. It spends 1/5th of its driving time looking for parking. Its 5 seats only move 1.5 people. 86% of its fuel never reaches the wheels, and most of the energy that does, moves the car, not the people. Sound efficient? HT @ellenmacarthurfdn.bsky.social

Bad news for #CrossBorderRail between Spain and Portugal: one of the two only passenger trains connecting both Iberian countries will be partly replaced by a bus for a year because of engineering works in Galicia. www.rtp.pt/noticias/eco...

Even after 25 years of left-leaning and progressive mobility politics, the inhabitants of #Paris elected a new mayor promising to continue to improve public space and focus on housing. Here's a good overview how the ongoing revolution transformed the French capital www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Le principe STOP en une photo Voici ce que devrait être 1 répartition correcte de l'espace public (📸 bd Jardin Botanique à BXL - début du 20ème siècle) 1️⃣ Majorité de l'espace pour les piétons 2️⃣ Manque l'espace 🚲 3️⃣ De l'espace pour les trams 4️⃣ Ce qu'il reste (s'il reste qqch) pour les voitures

parking spaces "threatened", businesses worried about losing customers one of brussels's most beautiful squares is choked with ugly cars, it would be amazing to make it a place where people want to spend time also: pedestrianisation seems to make business goes up, why do they always complain??

Inter-Environnement Bruxelles, zogezegd een milieuvereniging, verzet zich tegen een ambitieus vergroeningsproject. Oa. vanwege het schrappen van parkeerplaatsen en dat "een aantreffelijk leefkader zal zorgen voor hogere vastgoedprijzen." 🤯 www.bruzz.be/actua/samenl...

I read this morning that Penn Station serves more than 2x passengers per day as Atlanta Hartfield, the country’s busiest airport. So I had to map them at the same scale. 🤯

You know, when you really think about it, does all that driving and car dependency really make sense? @adamconover.net weighed in.

Begin oktober valt het doek voor ICR, ofwel de Intercityrijtuigen van NS, die vanaf begin jaren '80 ingezet zijn op veel verbindingen binnen Nederland, maar ook naar België en andere buurlanden. En zelfs als Fyra hebben gereden na het fiasco met de Italiaanse treinen. Een klein draadje.

Wat een enorm fantastische dag was het vandaag! Met 400 mensen afscheid nemen van de Traxx met ICR-rijtuigen.

Pas mal de bonnes choses là-dedans. Dommage que l’exécutif communal ne se tracasse guère plus que ça des usagers des transports en commun. Quant aux gouvernements régional et fédéral, on peut raisonnablement supposer qu’ils n’en ont absolument rien à foutre. schreuer.org/intervention...

Austrian rail company ÖBB confirms the end of the #Nightjet connections from #Paris to #Berlin & #Vienna, following budget cuts faced by partner SNCF. The Austrians remain committed to run a sleeper train between #Brussels and #Vienna in 2026 (3x/week). Press release: presse-oebb.at/news-oebb-be...

What does it take to move 1000 people? Better infrastructure supporting mobility choices that don’t take up so much space (or produce so much emissions/pollution, cost so much public money, etc). Graphic via Seattle Subway based on a Sydney graphic I spread around years ago.
