Did you know frogs hop but toads walk when they are out and about on wet nights? Or that the moor frogs’s blue hue during breeding season isn’t actual color – it’s caused by light refraction? They are my neighbors, struggling to survive in shrinking habitats, with ponds that dry up way too early in the year and new roads threatening their existence.

On days like today, I dream of a city of frogs.

Quick #LocalPolitics #UrbanPlanning rant: Using quick experimental interventions is good. You implement something, collect data, see if it works, make adjustments. What's not good is not having a follow-up plan for experiments. That's what happened with the #MadisonWI State Street Ped Mall. Last summer, several blocks of the street were closed to all motorized traffic during certain hours of the day. Street furniture, pavement decorations, and programming were added. (thread)

“#India, experts say, is an ideal place for piloting a net-zero-energy city, which meets all of its energy needs with renewables. The country of more than 1.4 billion people is one of the world’s fastest-growing economies, and its leaders have pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070.”

My thoughts on 'Neoliberal peri‐urban economies and the predicament of dairy farmers: a case study of the Illawarra region, New South Wales' (Ren Hu & Nicholas J. Gill, 2022).

This paper includes a very thorough literary review and insights into the perceptions and experiences of Illawara dairy farmers as the region is urbanised.

The paper is perhaps worth a read if you are concerned with land-use issues in rural communities.
