Indian cities are not typically imagined to be biodiversity hotspots. Aspects of urban ecology often get missed in public conversations about the city.

Small parks everywhere.
If you buy land amongst say 150 people, you can turn yours into a park and charge a small fee to maintain it.
If everyone is building, go the other direction... ✔💯🏘
In future, green spaces will be premium for events, recreation and bench press.😂

Notes.✍🏿
People need green open places to go; when they are close they use them.
But if the greens are more than three minutes away, the distance overwhelms the need.

There is a rhythm to these streets that took getting used to. But now, the walking feels easy.
You never know what you'll find here, amidst the laces and the bling.

In 2013, Meg Daly had “a crazy vision” of repurposing unused land under #Miami’s Metrorail. Knight joined her + other local supporters to support @theunderlinemia + its potential to connect Miamians to each other and the city: kf.org/3qXOIh1 #knightcities (2/6)
We invested in @theunderlinemia early bc of its huge potential to connect Miami and are thrilled to see Phase 1 commence thanks to Meg and Friends of the Underline, @MiamiDadeCounty, @CityofMiami, @MiamiFoundation + more: kf.org/2ZT3jyt #knightcities (3/6)
Majlis-e-Taraqi-e-Adab is a public sector institution 4 promotion of #Urdu language/literature. I have admired their publications (they have scores) in the past. Today on a whim (while looking for full version of Hatim Tai epic) I went masked & all to their premises. It's just 1/
off Mall Road past GOR 1 entrance & before PC Hotel, Lahore. Inside are acres of evacuee property land, old bungalow styled buildings with high ceilings, peeling paint & airy verandahs, & vast tree shaded lawns. The Majlis is housed in one of the buildings at the very back. 2/
There are 2 other centers as well. I gathered a large haul of classic Urdu novels & several epics that I needed for my current writing. Ridiculously inexpensive (25 books in all for mere Rs. 4000 after discount) & the staff quite helpful. But they could do with more inspired 3/

Tonight (of all nights), after a year of preparation, @playhousesquare @TheCityClub @CuyahogaLib & other partners are hosting me to discuss *Palaces* and our need for #SocialInfrastructure, for the #OneCommunityReads program. The timing is either disastrous or perfect. (Thread)
Palaces is about the vital role of public, accessible, well-designed gathering places in democratic societies. #Libraries #Parks #Schools #Playgrounds It argues that we have failed to build & maintain them, that we exacerbate problems, like distrust & division, as a result (2/6)
At first, the call for better #SocialInfrastructure seems at odds with our current emergency, #COVID19 Mitigating it requires #SocialDistancing. Quarantines. Maybe more. But getting through the #CoronavirusOutbreak demands we do more than hunker down at home. (3/6)
It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.
The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.
She needs REASONS. She got them.

Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”
The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened
People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH
