Today's reading: Daniel Guillery (LSE) on the moral significance of roads in the European Journal of Political Theory
For our book City of Equals Avner de Shalit and I had research assistants conduct interviews in 10 cities in 6 countries. One regular finding was that people wanted to be able to communicate with local officials who would understand their problems, and not ignore them as unimportant people.
This is worth reading, for excellent communication & story-telling.
“I’m driving less. I don’t want to see the world through a driver’s eyes any more. Before I began driving less, I had long had a melancholic sense that the city lifestyle I lived was cut off...” #UrbanTruth
From @irishtimes.com
Registration is open for 'Thinking the City' at Cambridge and 'Justice in Local Space' at LSE, where I will be presenting on care-washing in the built environment and the affective dimensions of urban spatial encroachment (aka the 'putting lipstick on a pig'* and 'to hell with SUVs' papers)
