- Students' push-scooters locked to their middle school's protective pedestrian barrier in the 4th arrondissement, a couple of blocks from the Seine river, the absolute center of Paris. Imagine the sense of safety to use this type of transportation. #paris #15minutecity #urbanism #safeschools
- Visitors often ask me, how is Paris always such an amazingly clean city? Simple, dedicated city workers who power clean the streets & sidewalks twice a week. Plus they pick up litter & empty waste baskets every day. #paris #15minutecity #urbanism
- Rue Cadet is a pedestrian priority street in the heart in the 9th arrondissement with multiple cafes offering street side dining. #paris #15minutecity #urbanism #ruecadet #lepetitcadet
- Some Sunday philosophy from Roller Shutters of Paris, my multi-year project to document all the artwork displayed on security shutters throughout Paris. #rollershuttersofparis #paris #art #streetart #15minutecity #urbanism #philosophy
- This post is inspired by @americanfietser.com rue Rochambeau; 2019 to 2021 to 2025. Just a barrier at the end of the street returns the space to the people. It doesn't take money, just the will to change. Now local restaurants are full of patrons. Cars don't eat. #paris #15minutecity #urbanism
- Cargobikes on Saturday morning at Square Trousseau. Cargobikes are as common in Paris as un croissant or une baguette. #paris #15minutecity #urbanism #cargobikes #bikes #bicycling #velo #squaretrousseau #transportation
- The sun is out today, it is calm in Paris on the Friday following the Thursday holiday as lots of people are away for a 4 day vacation. Here patrons enjoy lunchtime at a sunny corner spot next to Square Montholon. #paris #15minutecity #urbanism #lunch #squaremontholon
- 1/ Just of the few of the #cargobikes from my after coffee walk this Friday morning. I jokingly call these the "Parisian SUV", providing hauling and transportation for business and families. #paris #bikes #15minutecity #urbanism #velo
- Holiday in the park. The 9th doesn't have many green spaces, but Square d'Estienne-d'Orves in front of Eglise de la Sainte Trinité is a favorite spot among locals. #paris #15minutecity #urbanism #parks #Squared'Estienne-d'Orves #EglisedelaSainteTrinité
