BigTrouble in Little Cheshire Why Adlington New Town might not be all it seems to be

ICYMI:

'Big Trouble in Little Cheshire'

A few words on the proposed Adlington New Town in #Cheshire

The template can be seen across the fields on the ex Woodford airfield, 14 homes/hectare car-dependent sprawl.
And quite unnecessary, there's mass vacancy of land and buildings in SK, and probably Macc.

Paris before and after street transformation

New urban forest planted in front of Paris City Hall

A Paris “School Street” where cars are removed and people space/tree planting are added

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.

Just the start.

Common sense.

Difficult though, in the 2-3 minutes of a live interview, to check if the interviewee is lying or not about everything they say. Would you ban all live interviews?

If Michelle Mone gets to keep the superyacht, the private jet and the seat in the House of Lords, at least give the 'benefit scroungers' narrative a break for a couple of weeks

Ha, that ring road is a larf to drive, but it's also a metalled noose around the city centre's neck.

They... Don't blame the driver, white vans shift into auto-mount-the-pavement mode when parking up.

Nah.

Still the best ever photo of what is now the area around U Bahn Eberswalder Strasse (taken in the 80s).

Assuming Adlington New Town would be a "town" in the same way that nearby Woodford airfield development is a "village". That is, car-dependent sprawl. Unlike say Merwede near Utrecht.

Remco should try riding round here.

Wondering if the US military is quietly hoping he'll go away, or is this the moment they've been waiting for.

Sorry someone had to.

It needs the introduction of retesting at least every 5 years. In most other responsible occupations there would be a programme of cpd.

Perhaps instead of "cyclist collided with..." you mean "cyclist killed by driver of..." ?

A good landing, Tolentini Building, University of Venice

#ceilingsonSunday
Biennales in Venice are opportunities to visit buildings which are normally not accessible. The Palazzo Zorzi takes up an acute angle between Rio San Severo and Salizada Zorzi - its piano nobile corner room ceiling appears to start off orthogonal but ends up as parallelograms.

A tight courtyard in Venice bringing light and air. Big enough to hang the sheets out #federicagalli

And half the country won’t understand a thing Hedges said.

Horrific moment of russian strike on an apartment building in Dnipro this morning.
