Too often, city and town planners forget about our smallest residents.

It's time that we change our cityscapes and build for people (especially the tiniest ones) 🧸

Build cities for people, not cars! 🤯


Raleigh has already eliminated parking minimums city-wide, but it can go further by legalizing more housing choices and investing more in public transit 🏘️ 🚌

As everything gets bigger, the small things that matter get squeezed.

We have to do better for our #cyclists and #pedestrians!

For the first time in decades, Chapel Hill and #Carrboro are moving toward real zoning reform 🏘️

Their councils are likely to legalize small infill homes, eliminate housing barriers, and break from the old anti-growth playbook 🌱

As #Durham considers removing its urban freeway, let us:

2) develop a better future for all

This photo shows #Kansas City's North Loop freeway and the neighborhoods that it displaced.

Should Durham, NC get rid of the Durham Freeway?
