Amazingly thoughtful work at the Australian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale by Creative Directors BarracoWright + Linda Tegg. I’m humbled to be part of the Creative Team and to have worked with them the past year. Amazing people, amazing experience.

What a pleasure to ride the light rail for the first time with one of its key architects: Danish urbanist Jan Gehl!
Big ideas change cities, and I am proud of the city Sydney has become through a bold vision, and careful, considered planning.

If he says the Voice is a simple advisory body and she says it can veto government decisions and can take control of parliament, it is not your job to quote them both. It is your job to take a look at reality and tell your audience which is true (and that she is lying).

On paper, “Superblocks” are modest interventions; simple traffic filters that reclaim a fraction of the 60% of Barcelona’s land mass dedicated to the movement and storage of cars.
In reality, they are nothing short of a triumph; the results totally justifying the grandiose name. – at Barcelona, Spain

The simple fact that over 80% of Aboriginal people support the Voice is not reported in News Corp coverage. It’s obvious why they leave this info out. It’s because they know well meaning, respectful Australians who hear this will absolutely vote Yes. Tell all your friends.

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.
Better choices instead of excuses.

are about:
✅ Empowering people
✅ Greater transport choice

Are not about:
❌ Locking people down
❌ A conspiracy
❌ Taking cars from you
❌ Taking control away
❌ 5G or tracking people.
