The Netherlands is a study of four decades of balancing the needs of cars with the needs of pedestrians, bikes, and public transit. The results are safe, quiet, carbon-friendly, healthy, & convenient. We should learn from the example. But many will lose hope: "How can we do that? I don't have 40 years!" But this is where Paris comes into play: Paris is a study in one decade of balancing the needs of cars with the needs of pedestrians, bikes, and public transit. What we see is a messier transition, a work in progress, but many nicer streets, more greenery, and clear progress supported by statistics in: noise, bike ridership, pollution, & CO2.

🚀 Exciting News! 🚀 We are thrilled to unveil our latest publication, a policy brief titled "Assessing the Added Value of Marine Multi-Use within H2020United pilots." Dive into the core question: Is the Marine Multi-Use strategy the future of sustainable marine utilization? This critical inquiry underpins a recent economic assessment conducted in collaboration with UNITED pilots. The goal was two-fold: dissect the current and potential future value of Multi-Use colocations and explore how existing marine uses and touristic opportunities can be elevated through Multi-Use settings. This exploration involved a meticulous assessment of the trade-offs associated with Multi-Use options versus potential single-use alternatives. The study considered all significant impacts, from positive externalities like marine habitat creation to potential constraints on access for other marine uses.
