Highways aren’t just subsidized by billions in tax dollars, but by hiding the true environmental cost of sprawl in the atmosphere. We need to talk less about electrifying vehicles and more about decarbonizing infrastructure. – at Dallas, TX
Great that @JeffSpeckFAICP updated the 10th anni edition of Walkable City to emphasize equity. Equity remains the tough-to-crack paradox of contemp urbanism: walkable cites are more equitable, but in many cities new walkable neighborhoods drive inequality bloomberg.com/news/features/… – at Dallas, TX
