#Amsterdam
often is praised as livable city. But when it comes to creating public space friendly to people who can't/don't wanna spend money on food & drinks but simply want to hang out
#TelAviv
is taking the lead by creating high quality public spaces for all.

This reminds me of a public discussion here in Germany where a business owner said “the purpose of the city centre is to support businesses, nothing else”. He then, not surprisingly, went on to argue that the best way to do that is to increase car parking 🙄

Urbanist spaces for whom? How walkable is apartheid? Does colonial violence count in vision zero? One cannot create genuine urbanism as long as exclusion persists.
