    NEW: “Canadian urbanist @BrentToderian teamed up with the city of Paris and, in particular, its mayor, Anne Hidalgo, on a new exhibition that shines a light on cities and global climate action.” Thanks @MomentumMag! momentummag.com/from-paris-to-…
    What an Exhibition Launch today at Paris City Hall! As I shared with media & guests, It’s been a HUGE honour to be invited by Mayor Anne Hidalgo to co-curate this unique Exhibition powerfully “connecting the dots” between better city-building and urgent climate action!

    Want an example of a broken system? Florida DIDN’T “reject” the proposal to include a right to abortion in the constitution — they voted 58.2% in favor of abortion rights. But it needed 60% to pass, so it failed WITH A MAJORITY. Can’t imagine what Florida women must be thinking.

    Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 & replaced it with a restored stream & 1000 acre park in the city’s centre, not only did it transform the city’s public life & economic success, but the traffic got better. The traffic got BETTER.

    Replying to @BrentToderian
    The values of a nation are revealed by how it chooses, designs and builds its infrastructure. Once again, the Dutch show how it’s done. Dutch ecoduct to reduce barriers for wildlife, HT @beursgram
