  • I’m probably biased in saying this, but I’m a fan of the red and green handbooks (handboeken Rood or Groen) from Amsterdam, but they are only available in Dutch, if you don’t mind using a translator to help you

    It goes in depth and there are a lot of pictures and illustrations. It is based on the PDF alert! Puccini Method, which tries to make designs that are user friendly and accessible

    You can find them here

    A summary can also be seen here with the main principles

    The two handbooks contain the technical specifications of the policy, including drawings, technical details and lists of materials.

    PDF alert below!

    1. Red Handbook covers pavements, street lighting and street furniture.
    2. Groen Handboeken covers the correct planting of greenery in the city, including trees, perennials, grasses, shrubs and wadi gardens.







  • This comment actually got me curious, so I found these numbers for cities with population around ~1.1 to ~1.4mi

    Can you guess which cities are actively investing in their vision zero programs and reforms?

    Lemmy doesnt like tables, so I’m sorry in advance:

    Numbers normalized to 100,000 population

    Deaths per 100k City Country Source
    0 Helsinki FIN 1
    0.36 Oslo NOR 2
    3.70 Amsterdam NLD 3
    4.20 Porto PRT 4
    4.38 Adelaide AUS 5
    4.59 Chihuahua MEX 6
    8.64 Florianopolis BRA 7
    9.39 Mendoza ARG 8
    14.15 Valparaiso CHL 9
    16.01 Jacksonville USA 10

    I was going to try go get 5 cities per continent, but I ran out of time. I think we already can get a good picture.

    Population taken from 2025 numbers https://worldpopulationreview.com/cities which says it sources from https://esa.un.org/unpd/wup/ (currently down for maintenance). It was not ideal to use 2025 numbers, but differences would be minimal based on annual growth

    Latest source data available was used, which is around 2022-2025. There are PDF links, open with caution
