I made a meme for all my fellow urbanists, and everyone who loves human centered cities, quality of life and progress :)

#toulouse #car #cars #park #parks #progress #puns #urbanism

Two pictures from the same vantage point looking out over the same area in Toulouse, France. The top pic is from 1976 and shows a big parking space full of cars by the river. It's almost all asphalt, just a few trees, and three people walking. The bottom pic shows how the same area looks today, it's a park with lots of trees, grass, benches and a playground. There's no cars, but the park is full of people, on the grass and along the riverside.

On the top pic is the text Toulouse, 1976. On the bottom pic the text Towin, 2026.

PS: The bottom pic is a few years old, the trees are bigger there now. But it's the pic I could find from the same vantage point.

@forteller Too bad the rest of the city is still so car centered :(.

@forteller yeah, but right where the person taking the picture stood is a very small street, but one of the only ways to cross the city by car, meaning lots of cars passing by all day long.

Full disclosure: This is actually just a recreation of the exact same meme I saw elsewhere, I just added the pun :D

@forteller Took me a moment to get the pun (before your post confirmed one). I plead low coffee level morning. Brilliant.

@forteller Nja, den stemmer godt men hva GE leverer for det samme området. Som forøvrig har vært "grønt" i minst et kvart århundre allerede.
