Had a very nice late morning chat with @benschneider.bsky.social about his new book, The Unfinished Metropolis. If you’re interested in why cities are the way they are and how they can become something different, you’ll enjoy Ben’s book. Buy multiple copies for the holidays!

China made a bet decades ago because it couldn’t compete with the US on cars. That bet is paying off big | CNN By any measure, China’s EV growth has been extraordinary — more than half of new cars sold last year were electric. The global implications could be staggering.

China couldnt compete w/the West in producing internal combustion vehicles, so it made a huge bet c. 2009: invest in EVs & help Chinese automakers leapfrog incumbents from the West. That gamble has clearly paid off with declining oil imports & expanding auto exports www.cnn.com/2025/01/23/c... 🔌🚗 🔌💡

Interesting new report on transit costs. The data make clear the crisis of construction cost inflation in the Anglosphere.

One problem: A higher level of project soft costs, such as professional services, due to lack of in-house expertise.

Another problem: Overbuilding due to high risk aversion.

About me

I'm on the job market this year. I study the equity and justice implications of transition from conventional vehicles to electric vehicles. I'm conceptualizing, measuring & modeling just transition to EVs in my dissertation. To read about my projects, check out my website abdirashiddahir.github.io
