THREAD: Urban planning and active travel can be dry and complex subjects. How we communicate these things with people really matters. I’ve recently discovered urban planning TikToks, which are doing a great job.

Here are a few of my favourites. First, induced demand. (1/10)
How blind people navigate pavement-parked cars. (2/10)
How to overtake cyclists. (3/10)
Induced demand meme. (4/10)
Street trees! (5/10)
Accessible cities. (6/10)
Future cities. (7/10)
Unprotected bike lanes. (8/10)
Urban sprawl. (9/10)
These are just a few examples. You can find more by searching # urbanplanning on TikTok. It’s exciting that we can reach the next generation of city dwellers and have some complex discussions in a fun way. In my view, urban planning and active travel needs more of this. (10/10)
