“For decades, people who buy enormous, very heavy cars have been creating societal costs that they aren’t paying for. That’s what’s called a market failure.” — @DavidZipper in @Marketplace calls for building societal costs into vehicle choices/purchases. marketplace.org/2024/01/04/t…

"School streets" are one of those concepts that sounds kind of whatever, but is actually a total game changer when you see it in action (like this incredible installation in @CityofTirana, in partnership with @Qendra_M). 🧵

Lots of fun in Tyre designing streets for kids and planning a space transformation outside a school with the students, @The_ChainEffect, and Tyre Municipality 💚 Planting, painting, seating, crossings, play and much more! Thanks to @GlobalStreets for the excitement & support 🌞

Amazing to see the complete transformation of this school street in Paris from a narrow road clogged with car parking in 2020 to a beautiful, green public space in 2022. A few nice examples of this in London, but we definitely need more permanent school street transformations!!

Tyre, Lebanon, will introduce the ideas of safe and healthy streets through a series of activities, programs, workshops, and awareness sessions in collaboration with a local school in Tyre, culminating in a street design pilot on the school street.

Replying to @Nadidjka
@Nadidjka @The_ChainEffect represented in the @WorldBankMENA webinar on the role of sustainable transport in women's economic/social empowerment in the MENA. A small angle but still very important!
Great discussing led by @paul_noumba on the role of #transport systems in #womenempowerment in #MNA countries. Thanks to our esteemed speakers.

Beirut had a rich history of trams (and trains), cut short by the encroachment of private cars on the city's streets in the late 60s, followed by the start of the civil war in the 70s - nice to see this rare photo of the tram coming back to life in the 90s
