Think small. Save some praise for the infill storefront. My downtown Nanaimo neighbourhood High Street. Apartments above, an office ‘round the back. The block’s last broken tooth. Quality materials design execution.

For the first time, the World Cup final four teams includes only the top 4 teams in FIFA world rankings (1+2+3+4). The combined ranks of the last four teams couldn't be lower (10). In the past, the four last teams have always added up to over 25. HT @chartycharts

Pedestrianization is often framed as transforming streets. In many cases, we're actually restoring them. We're reclaiming what's been lost: social connection, local commerce, civic life, and human-scale movement. Perhaps it's time to shift from street transformation to street restoration.

The European promenade, the bourgeois evening paseo stroll are lovely but @jeffspeck.bsky.social wld urge caution. If your downtown street has lost diverse social and economic dynamism, the problem may not be cars. There’s wisdom still in Jane Jacob’s four generators of diversity.
