“Hidalgo spearheaded legislation that constrains her eventual successor from reversing her policies & long-term goals, such as the creation of 55 acres of new green areas by 2040, and requiring at least 65% of any site bigger than 150sq.m remains soil or plants, with no building or paving allowed.”

Seine swimming pool opening gives Paris mayor another jewel in her green crown

Making the famed river swimmable is one of the final big projects Anne Hidalgo will inaugurate before she leaves office next year.

The Cdn embassy in Tokyo is epic in scope. Such grandness + materials + size in a compact city. Bungalowish bldns for staff. A real moment: Japan’s 80s boom but also a Cdn bigness vs cheapness. An internationalism too. Bring it back. It’s our only way around the USA. Pics from Oct 2023 walking by.
