The FREE Safer Speeds and Better Places Community Toolkit provides information on vehicle speed, its impact on the community and explore opportunities for communities to be part of changes to improve the #safety and #vibrancy of their local streets. There are also 13 case studies of community groups working with their #localgovernments to create change through action rather than advocacy. This resource will be of interest for professionals and volunteers around the world. #Transport planners, urbanists, economic development officers, active transport practitioners and road safety advocates will be particularly interested.

Are Placemakers actually adding to the problem of degraded neighbourhoods and town centres? The very first human settlements were founded on a simple idea: citizenship. Each person shared their gifts and talents with the other inhabitants and, in return, everyone would get back more than they gave - a kind of 'magic-pudding'. But as a society we have moved away from this citizen model to a customer model where we pay our governments (and NGOs) to provide the sense of place and community we once enjoyed for free under the citizen model. However, a sense of place and community is not a product that can be manufactured by outside agents like government authorities and Placemakers. It produces a plastic replica of an authentic sense of place. Moving to the customer model required something not needed before: community consultation and professional Placemakers. Unless Placemakers are enabling residents and businesses to fulfil their civic responsibilities, and make great public spaces THEMSELVES, then they are being counter-productive and have become a cog in the customer model. For more on why placemaking is first and foremost a psychological and citizenship task see https://lnkd.in/gVzVymNR. #placemaking #urbanism #towncentre #urbandesign #7daymakeover

The second of the 11 common #placemaking mistakes may be a bit challenging and controversial for some. 'Plonk' in British or Australian English (or 'Plunk' in the US) is an informal term than means "to put something down heavily and without taking care". *Plonk placemaking* means physically ‘plonking’ a potentially good idea in a space: ❌ because it worked somewhere else ❌ without engaging local people ❌ with little care or consideration ❌ with no follow up engagement or subsequent actions If money is no issue, sure, go for it! But, in most cases, placemaking budgets will be limited, and this approach is unlikely to deliver the best outcomes. It can be tokenistic and is unlikely to drive real change. The risk is delivering 'orphan' interventions that no-one cares about or is invested in. There are another 9 more common mistakes to come.

The City's Trackless Tram Trial has been submitted for the 2024 National Awards for Local Government! One of the City's most important initiatives, the project has been submitted under the 'Productivity through Innovation' category, which recognises local governments that utilise technological innovations, consider sustainability and address long-term infrastructure priorities that offer clear economic benefits. The Trackless Tram Trial was a huge success last year and saw thousands of residents and visitors from Perth, interstate and abroad come and experience the technology in November. The Trackless Tram trial and business case was made possible thanks to funding by the Australian Government and partnerships with Curtin University, Infrastructure Technology Solutions Group (ITSG), CRRC Corporation Ltd. and Shanghai Electric Group Co., Ltd.
