Car-free Streets are Amazing (and we need more of them)

Wed, 28 Sep 2022 23:48:44 +0000

⁣Autoluw is a Dutch urban planning concept meaning "nearly car-free". It's put into use all over the country, and has resulted in some of the greatest urban environments
I've ever been to. This video explores the concept of autoluw, and how it is
applied to Dutch streets, along with some examples from some foreign cities as
well, such as Toronto and Copenhagen. I also talk about what Amsterdam has done
to move towards the autoluwe stad, and briefly mention Agenda Amsterdam Autoluw. There is so much to talk about on this subject! I definitely plan a follow-up
video on different aspects of where autoluw principles are applied. If you're
interested in such things, make sure you subscribe!

Montreal’s Popular Pedestrian Open

Wed, 28 Sep 2022 23:44:50 +0000

⁣Pedestrianized streets in Montreal are very popular! I have been visiting Montreal peroidically over the last 25 years but not often of late and to see the progression of safe, comfortable walking areas has been nice. But particularly now: since Covid the city started amping up the numbers and distance of either mostly pedestrianized or open streets throughout all seven boroughs of the city. I got to visit three of the coolest ones plus ample places all over Montreal that are great places for people. In Montreal they boast one amazing business street (Mont Royal) that runs for over 1 1/2 miles and even a good portion of the cross streets are closed to cars. The
space is filled morning, day and evening, is closed 24 hours a day for the
entire Summer and is filled with every kind of imaginable user. The city even
has a pedicab/cargo bike service that is free for anyone that needs it.

Shared Space: Dutch Woonerfs and Shopping Streets Explained

Wed, 28 Sep 2022 23:38:59 +0000

⁣Fun fact: in Dutch, the plural of "woonerf" is "woonerven", just like how the plural of
bike "fiets" is "fietsen". Or should we call it "home zone"? Resources relating to shared space: Review of Hamilton-Baillie's 2003 paper "Urban design: Why don’t we do it in the road? Modifying traffic behavior through legible urban design" https://cyclingresearchreview.com/201... Interview with Dick van Veen about

⁣Darryl Condon sits down with Stuart McNish for a conversation about how the design of cities has to change. Fewer cars, better transit, greater density, and more liveable spaces that make city living fun and affordable. This interview was an episode of Conversations That Matter. Darryl is HCMA Architecture + Design's Managing Principal. Read Darryl's perspective on his role as an architect at HCMA:
