Urban green spaces are scarce, while climate and wealth impact access A study of 862 European cities reveals a lack of adequate access to green space. It also highlights a climate-driven geographical difference and a clear socioeconomic divide.

New study shows that just 2-4% of people living in Dublin and Cork (and less than 2% on Waterford, Limerick and Galway) benefits from the full 3-30-300 urban greening principle. That's way behind most other European cities studied.

Raleigh Motus Hub Gear Electric Bike Raleigh Motus Hub Gear electric bike with Bosch Performance motor, 500Wh battery and low-maintenance hub gearing, ideal for city commuting.

This ebike has a 500Wh battery, with a range of ~50km.

500Wh is half a standard electricity unit (1kWh).

If you pay €0.30 per unit for your electricity, then it costs €0.15 to charge this ebike.

That €0.15 buys you 50km of cycling, or €0.003 per kilometre.

What are our streets trying to tell us? Researchers at University College Cork are revealing a new approach to understanding the environmental impact of cities.

Innovative new methods for measuring and mapping air quality data have shown that one-size-fits-all plans to address pollution are not the answer – and that hyperlocal solutions right down to street level can pave the way to more sustainable and just cities.

Thanks.

Positive reframing like that might also help in other ways - such as linking with the increased spend by people on foot ("pedestrian pound").

And might help rethink "delays" - not just wait times, but also walking slower due to narrow busy footpaths, uneven walking surface, obstacles, etc.

Hi Ian, thoughts on expressing it in the opposite way?

A person has a 15min city available to them today under the *existing* circumstances.

Each time we remove delays we expand their personal 15min city:
1min - 14%
2min - 28%
3min - 44%
4min - 60%
5min - 78%
6min - approx doubled in size

Hi folks, what do you see as the key differences between Berlin Kiezblocks, Barcelona Superilla, London LTNs (or any similar others)? Mostly a local branding difference, or does the top-down/bottom-up create important differences?
