When Albert Einstein met Charlie Chaplin in 1931, Einstein said, "What I admire most about your art is its universality. You do not say a word, and yet the world understands you." "It's true." Replied Chaplin, "But your fame is even greater. The world admires you, when no one understands you."

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath fastcompany.com/3062989/50-r…

Last week, the @CityOfTheHague hosted its annual 'Bicycle Light Parade'. Residents of all ages were invited to decorate their bikes and join the rolling party across the city; intended to coincide with the start of the dark winter months. 📷 @DenHaagFietst

This would literally destroy the North American airline industry. Build the loop.

The Dutch concept of ‘gezelligheid’ is hard to translate into English, but can be best described as a shared state of coziness or togetherness. While generally reserved for indoor settings, the idea also extends to the thoughtful way the streets and public spaces are designed. – at Delft, Nederland
