Do you read books and are you a member of a library? I have seen this drop off box for the library. I think any incentive for making people read more should be appreciated.

For work I am travelling to Delft quite often. I travel by train via Rotterdam. Because of the constructions in Delft there is a big walking bridge to pass rail tracks. There I always see the bicycle park area. Actually this is only part of the parking. Yesterday I decided to capture it.
It’s all about bikes. It certainly improves city traffic if you use a bike. Firstly, it occupies a very small space on the scarce road network and especially when you consider parking. With a bike you can always commute door-to-door transport. Think about a foldable bike your travel will be 100% finalized on your door, even if its your bedroom 
Secondly, there is no external costs associated with biking. It’s sustainable just like walking, no emissions, no noise, nothing. So, thirdly it is healthy to make some exercise every day instead of staying stressed in your car. Read More »
Drivers in central Brussels will have noticed that the top end of the Leuvensesteenweg at Madou has been closed to traffic to accommodate a new pedestrian precinct. Traffic leaving central Brussels is now directed along the Scailquinstraat instead.
The top end of the Leuvensesteenweg is popular among shoppers thanks to the presence of countless outlets of a cut price clothes store that is the talk of the land.This section of the road is going to be completely renovated soon and turned into a pedestrian precinct. Until the works start in a couple of months’ time this part of the street is being baptised ‘Walking Madou’ and in order to make it clear that this is a pedestrian precinct the road surface has been painted yellow. Here are there car wrecks have also been dumped and are being used as plant pots to give the whole area a green feel.
Inge Paemen of Mobile Brussels told brusselnieuws.be: “The idea is that the pedestrian will reign supreme. There will be enormously wide pavements. Car traffic will be diverted and buses will be ‘guests’. They will get a special bus lane.”
In addition pubs will be able to set out pavement terraces. Sports equipment is also being installed that will be available free of charge.
The borough of Sint-Joost is staging a big street party on 14 April to inaugurate the pedestrian precinct.

I do not want to be part of this scene, in megapol Istanbul city has been transformed rapidly. Ugly buildings are built to accomodate millions during the 70s and now uglier residentials are popping up. This ghost building is located in Sariyer Istanbul.
Together with GB Les Halles, Parking 58 will also be demolished soon in Brussels and new apartment blocks will rise…
