I’m no longer active here. I truly miss the old Twitter—the spirited debates, the exchange of ideas, and our shared concern for the future: the climate crisis, inequality, and more. Sadly, X isn’t that place anymore. I’d love to reconnect on the other side. Come join me there!

As cities scramble to face the unpredictable local impacts of climate change and a growing polycrisis, the question is clear: how do we plan and build resilience? Here’s my take on the Resilience Project of the world’s biggest city, #Tokyo.

Its time to make the journey. I loved our urbanism community here. Over the years I met many of you in person/virtually. Twitter was a good public square. However, with an opponent of democracy at the helm I put Twitter @ rest for now. Would be nice to see you on the other side!

Quiet magic of Tokyo’s unplanned, human-scaled backstreets—where cars are welcome only as guests, weaving their way gently through pedestrians and cyclists. Streets like these remind us that vibrancy and human connection are at the heart of every truly liveable, lovable city.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.  https://t.co/gOjqFnGv0I

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Housing crisis reaches new extremes: Thousands of students in the Netherlands can’t find accommodation, potentially derailing their education plans. Authorities in Utrecht even put up tents in a subway station to serve as temporary student housing. https://t.co/vpDyymg2Y1

Back in Japan after traveling through my home region in rural & urban Germany, I feel energised. Our shared challenges are clear: foster biodiversity& regenerative sustainability, build resilience, strengthen local democracy, cut energy use & advance equity thru mutual learning.

In our recent text Mark Kammerbauer & I look at alternative, historic ideas of planning that saw the world in perpetual emergence; comprising of #wickedproblems. We then offer propositions for a different planning in an age of accelerating socio-ecological change & uncertainty.

If you want a fuller *picture* of #Tokyo& #Japan #urbanism, pls have a look at my instagram. Tokyo is a great city overall (adaptable, walkable, dense, mixed-use to name a few properties) but it also has its problems. Much can be learned: https://t.co/p9gHpgwFpa

#Grünflächen gehen in #Tokio verloren – auch, weil #Bäume nicht zum japanischen Sauberkeits­anspruch passen.

I met recently with the gentlemen of @MeMyselfDisaste who are travelling the world in order to document and share cutting edge disaster response solutions for an age of accelerating change. Here’s me, briefly talking about an evacuation park in #Tokyo. https://t.co/ouZoAW7jbf
