One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen was filled with cars until a 2 year pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

'Academics are 25 times more likely to have a parent with a Ph.D. This nearly doubles at prestigious universities & is stable across 50 years...academia is disproportionately accessible to the privileged which shapes their scholarship & reproduction.'

📢 April 6 - World Day for #PhysicalActivity

🏃 Active Travel: It's a practical and sustainable way to increase daily physical activity.

🚴 Active Urban Design: The way cities are built and designed impacts many of our conscious and unconscious behavioural choices.

Deirdre M Harrington

This prospective study of almost half a million US adults suggests that women, compared with men, derived greater gains in all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risk reduction from equivalent doses of leisure-time physical activity; sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

“It's like we were always supposed to be there”

Paris 2024 is the first gender-equal Olympic Games, but it's taken a long time to get here.

And men, we need you on our side so we can go all the way🚀
