Lyon, Toulouse, Bordeaux and Rennes. But many other cities,.mall and large, have such plans for the near future. Just look at a city of your choice on Google and add « Plan Vélo ». Here is for example the case for Perpignan which I had no idea before doing the search.

C'est ça l'écologie du quotidien : moins de bruit, moins de chaleur, des trottoirs élargis !

Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.
Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

Really can't overstate how problematic robotaxis become at scale:
"Urban traffic is constrained by the fact that getting around by car either requires (expensively) paying someone else to drive or (inconveniently) driving oneself. Without such constraints the result could be brutal gridlock."

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Labor gaining just the tiniest amount of power relative to capital a few years back absolutely broke employers' brains
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead

This is how Enron did its accounting (seriously)
On one side of the ledger, we have half a trillion dollars in operating losses expected over the next 5 years.
On the other side of the ledger, we have all the money we'll hypothetically make when the hypothetical technology we imagine comes into existence mostly on its own.
So it's net positive.

This would be true if there were no international connections - Czechia is a small country. But there are, to Berlin, to Bratislava, maybe to Munich, to Vienna and thence Budapest, to Katowice and thence Warsaw. So 300 km/h is more justified in this case, on the same basis as Paris-Brussels.
@alonlevy.bsky.social the "Adam Something" YouTuber was recently a guest on @theurbanistagenda.com and was skeptical about high speed rail, saying among other things that for a country like the Czech Republic 250 km/h lines where trains usually go 200 km/h make more sense
