Watch 90 sec. great Jan Gehl.

• We are talking about Homo Sapiens
• I always feel that it's better if you have lower housing and people are part of the city, and not part of the airline system
• If you provide better invitations to walk, bike, public spaces, you get more of that

Exciting to see us mentioned in a new National Geographic article that shows how going to the beach is good for our #brain, relieving #stress and possibly how we cope with #pain. Our project lead Mat White & colleague @sabinepahl.bsky.social are featured.

Going to the beach is good for your brain, according to science
Visiting the coast can help you relieve stress and get more active—and it may even change the way you cope with pain.

The U.S. is facing an unprecedented dismantling of science, research, and higher education.

As scientists are fired + research is frozen, so too are all the resources and outcomes that would have benefited society.

In their own words, the stories of scientists whose work has been abruptly ended:

The Dutch live, on average, 2.4 km away from the nearest supermarket. In urban centres, that distance drops to less than 500 meters. In combination with extensive cycling infrastructure, this ensures that most people don't need a car for daily shopping.

The Met Office has reported that March was the sunniest on record. It’s been unseasonably dry, and newly planted trees are meant to be experiencing wetter weather.

So pass this message on: if you have a baby tree on your street, give it some water!💧
