A suburb of Phoenix is not where one might expect to see a residential development based on emancipation from the dominion of the car.

Reducing car dependency in Arizona matters beyond the borders of the state. All too often those working for more human and environmentally sound planning and transit policies in the USA are met with a simplistic and thought stopping cry of "It might work in Europe, but our geography makes it impossible!"

Convenient town centre housing in every town

Every town in England could have a supply of new housing conveniently located for shops, restaurants and other amenities. With partners, Transport for New Homes is exploring how swathes of land given over to parking could be put to better use.

The availability of car parking in our towns is a major determinant of how people get around. Too much parking induces car trips and reduces bus patronage, threatening the viability of bus routes. Land given over to parking in town centres makes the urban environment hostile to walking and cycling.

Patterns of consumption and mobility are changing. Many local authorities are discovering their town centre car parks are underused and are failing to break even. This presents an opportunity to release some of this land for housing and reduce the need to build on greenfield far from towns and cities.

Town centre car park land is typically conveniently located near trip generators such as shops and restaurants. This presents the opportunity to replace car-centred urban design with convenient car free living. Housing built on these sites will contribute to reduced need for parking.

We will be looking for examples of local authorities who have converted underused parking to housing and sharing best practice. This project will promote relevant policies at local and national level.

Do you know of a town centre car park that has been successfully converted to housing? Do you have a car park near you that would be better as homes?

From #NotesOnGrowth: "Britain’s system of nature protection is the worst of both worlds. It makes building infrastructure and housing slower and more expensive than it ought to be. And it does a crap job of protecting nature: many of our key biodiversity indicators are flashing red." https://www.samdumitriu.com/p/have-we-solved-the-bat-tunnel-problem #uk #environment #development #planning

Question:
If a row of trees are planted along a road, is it better for wildlife if those trees one species or if they're 3, 4, or 5 species repeating?

Surrey to probe creation of ‘iconic’ waterfront district on Fraser River
Surrey city council voted last week to launch a feasibility study on transforming a heavily industrialized stretch of the Fraser River into a landmark destination.

#Oxford Mail moans that "only the wealthy can afford to park". They do have a point - #parking charges should increase with the size and value of the vehicle, so even the wealthy have to think twice about clogging the city with their vehicles ... I'm sure that in this day and age a dynamic pricing can easily be arranged. #sustainability #planning #banSUVs #banCars

Salut les geeks du logiciel libre, un outil de planning en ligne à conseiller ?
Il me faut un visu sur 1 mois + 1 planning détaillé heure par heure sur 4 jours.
Du style de ce que tu fais quand tu assures le planning de ton collectif avant, pendant et après Aurillac, bénévoles compris, si comme moi ça te parle.
