"When we calculate who is served by our transportation system, we don’t pay attention to children." Great 10-min showreel for Paris's transformative #schoolstreets programme. 180 streets and counting! youtube.com/watch?v=ezPzoc…
Today we've launched our transport manifesto ‘A transport network fit for all our futures’, calling on decision makers to change the way we look at our highways and transportation network. Read the full manifesto HERE: ciht.org.uk/manifesto

School streets in London should be extended to a radius of 3/4 quarters of a mile, a quick fix that would tackle the root cause of so many of society's ills, obesity, poor health, and pollution. No one should be driving their children to school in London in 2024 unless disabled

Forty-odd years after neoliberalism took hold it’s clear it doesn’t work. In fact, it never had either a robust theory or the data to back up its claims. Time to introduce a new, more freeing capitalism that allows all people to live up to their potential. That’s what I do in my…
I first starting asking for a school street here when my son started primary school ten years ago. We eventually got one 6 years ago. But then the council leader had it removed months before the end of the trial period as he was being shouted at and he didn’t like it 1/2

Paris is in the middle of a plan to transform into a 100% cycling city. They are also poised to introduce “pedestrian hearts” in each district, inspired by Barcelona’s superblocks, reserving areas for pedestrians, cyclists & public transport. @MomentumMag momentummag.com/paris-to-showc…

Scientists and comedians join forces to get climate crisis message across It seems my #climatechange video with the brilliant Jo Brand has been viewed over 3 million times - but we need more communication especially all the positive solutions theguardian.com/environment/20…
