Er is voor de gemeenteambtenaren weinig moeilijk werk te doen want de @gemeenteamsterdam heeft al het werk aan contracten en beveiliging en verwerkersovereenkomsten al gedaan.
In #Utrecht I live in a dense neighborhood in an apartment building, surrounded by other apartment buildings. It is always quiet because most everyone travels by #bike
Being outside, hearing #birds, kids, people, seeing my neighbors while walking and biking makes me calmer and happier. My blood pressure is getting lower.
Het Israëlische busbedrijf #EBS doet mee aan een aanbesteding om openbaar vervoer in #Utrecht te verzorgen. Dit willen wij voorkomen. Wij willen niet dat reizigers gedwongen worden bij te dragen aan #bezetting, #kolonisatie en #apartheid.
John Simmerman #ActiveTowns and I sat down for a chat on how Dutch street infrastructure reflects #Dutch values.
Premieres 11amPST 8pmCET on 10 April. Podcast also drops Wednesday.
My thesis is that #Netherlands values of commonsense, punctuality, consensus, adaptation, sharing, self-reliance, and looking for bargains are actually built into the Dutch streets.
What #urbanism values are reflected where you live?
The #myrkur show in #Utrecht: last time I saw her I was surprised to find it was folk instead of black #metal, and it was really good. This time it was a mix, and it was also good. The haunting vocals were clear as a bell. Would really have liked to hear more of the raw material though; I could tell the audience expected it as well. It was also the second time seeing support act Jonathan Hultén. Saw him at #castlefest a while ago, and can recommend the experience.
The #security topic presented by Jaya Baloo and hosted by Julia Cremer at the Quantum Technology Gala at the #Tivoli in #Utrecht last week seems to have reached the #EU parliament and #NOS too.
Last days I was busy guiding civil servants from #Tübingen in #Utrecht. They were followed by a film crew from ZDF and Arte to see what a real #verkehrswende means. Both crew and servants were impressed by the quality of the #cycling network and the efforts to get the details right.
This week's photo challenge: Lebhaftigkeit, liveliness. Jumbling flowers on the pavement, ready to bloom and be taken home. Though I associate "lively" most with movement, this caught my eye and stuck.
