Away from the Eixo Monumental you’re never more than a few minutes’ walk from the nearest local centre with shops, bars, schools, daycare, places of worship and services all within easy reach

If your idea of Brasília is only car-dominated sprawl you couldn’t be more wrong. The Superquadras were designed as compete neighbourhoods - 15 minutes cities if you will.

This is SQS 108, the first one completed in 1957-8 and jokingly referred to as “Centro Historico”

Over 30 cities announced their yearly offers of action.

“Acting together with urgency and determination, we're confident we can truly turn the tide and secure a safer, more resilient world for the generations to come. The yearly offer of action is the way it’s going to happen.” - Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr

👏 C40 Cities Co-Chairs, Mayor of @london.gov.uk
Sadiq Khan & Mayor of Freetown Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr, celebrated that 73% of C40 cities, for which data is available, have peaked their emissions, with 23 cities delivering a 17% reduction compared to their peak. #WMS25

And the action keeps coming - check out what some C40 and GCoM cities will deliver in the next 12 months, building on the ir track record of already reducing per capita emissions five times faster than the global average. www.c40.org/news/yearly-...

But wait, there's more - we also launched some research showing that cities working together and implementing smart, inclusive climate policies can accelerate towards positive climate tipping points nationally and globally - www.c40knowledgehub.org/s/article/Pa...

You can find the research, launched at the World Mayors Summit in Rio de Janeiro today, here: www.c40knowledgehub.org/s/article/Pa...

Sofia also has an extensive tram network. This section weaves through Borisova Gradina Park to get up a steep hill - which gives a delightful ”tunnel-of-love” quality to some lucky people’s daily commute

They look very weird on Google maps. I guess they are there to reduce the noise outside and/or keep out snow in winter (Sofia is at elev. 500m)?

Some of the overground sections are covered in these plastic tunnels. As a passenger it’s a shame to miss the view - also I feel like an out of season strawberry.

The entrance to one of the main central interchanges, Serdica, is through the ruins of the Roman city that stood on this site until the year 447

These platform barriers are at many underground stations. I’m sure they are thoroughly tested but they look both not robust enough to stop me falling onto the track, but also hard enough to damage the fingers of a curious child or visiting transit nerd
