Generous of Space Syntax to share a national connectedness map. It necessarily only covers the main links but here in Canterbury goes to show why the ring road around the city walls is often chocker as these routes are most connected locally spacesyntax-openmapping.netlify.app#14/51.2799/1...

Just over a year ago we planted the Sutherland Road #raingardens with @wfcouncil. 🌱 🌼 What started out as a community planting day is now a vibrant stretch of green space. Just check out the growth! 🌿 #urbangreening

I love the restrained interwar simplicity of Grøndals Church on edge of Frederiksberg built 1928 in National Romantic Late Gothic design by architect Julius Smith. Sits on a Y junction of giant interwar roads

Other unsung spaces I love in Copenhagen are the once modest (but prob now really expensive) potato row houses with their narrow streets and homezone segments

Was passing the Niels Bohr building at Cph University and couldn't help wondering how the running costs seem to have blown some of the Landscape Architecture programme www.landskabsarkitekter.dk/Aktuelt/neds...

Some of Copenhagens most impressive spots are the unsung community spaces like this BaNanna Park. Born out of local protest against mote development

New CWIS targets just motherhood and apple pie? Need SMART targets. ”Increase % of walking & cycling stages /person by 2030” doesn't compare to ”double cycling by 2025” of earlier versions

Encouraging to see my city has at last spent some cash on improving this cycle route (NCN1). VFM shown with...erm, a new sign for very tall people on cycles, or perhaps penny farthing riders. Maybe a taster of what long-awaited LCWIP will achieve

While jeg elsker Danmark and Copenhagen in particular, the sooner these are just internationally known as side road junction crossings and standardised the better

Man in his conservatory on BikeHubs website explains how to use these new lockers, though without a bike. I worked out it involves 15 steps (!) to get your bike in one first time. Well intentioned but clunky and too much friction compared to a car park app. I hope my booking for next week works.

Sadly missed it but absolute credit to @lb-southwark.bsky.social running a 'Guided Cycle Consultation' where Officers actually got out & cycled with residents to consult changes. People saying it was the best consultation they've ever seen. FANTASTIC progress that every Council should copy.

In spring 2025, girls aged 10-18 shared their thoughts and experiences of Rowntree Park in York, and other public parks more broadly. Their voices highlight what makes these spaces feel welcoming - and what could be improved. Part of a local project to raise awareness and improve things.

Enjoyed funally seeing award winning The Avenue in Saffron Walden today. Loved the shingle cladding on some homes. One resident said he loved it.. but there were a lot of leaves!

its good to see our Danish friends can discuss their future with some propriety amidst so much uncertainty. I remember some of the London debates with Richard Rogers, Nicky Gavron etc before the GLA came back and this kind of forum was excellent www.landskabsarkitekter.dk/Aktuelt/hva-...

Great to attend the launch of the APPG for Access to Nature's new report yesterday, which calls for "new statutory rights for responsible access" to the English countryside.

This sad old tunnel is on NCN1 Crab n Winkle route in/out of the city, but you get can fined £100 for cycling through it. Not sure a mural of oysters and steam engines will improve matters
