Plaisir de découvrir ce jour ce recueil qui multiplie les regards poétiques sur la ville sous la plume de nombreux auteurs et auquel j’ai la joie de participer !

Merci à Hélène Lécot, éditrice des Editions du Bunker, pour ce beau projet au cœur de nos vies citadines, d’autant plus précieux que certains poèmes orneront les murs aveugles et silencieux de nos villes.

Une belle TRAM.ES urbaine qui nous mène vers des images multiformes, renouvelées et fortes sur notre quotidien urbain.

Parution le 9 avril 2026 !

This is an excellent article on a sad topic: pedestrian deaths are rising.

QUOTE:

"Nationwide, the suburbanization of poverty in the 21st century has meant that more lower-income Americans who rely on shift work or public transit have moved to communities built around the deadliest kinds of roads: those with multiple lanes and higher speed limits but few crosswalks or sidewalks. The rise in pedestrian fatalities has been most pronounced on these arterials, which can combine highway speeds with the cross traffic of more local roads."

In the suburbs of Atlanta (and other metros) and in the city, these wide arterial roads are deadly for walking. Meanwhile, the most walkable places in the city are increasingly unaffordable.

It's obvious that we need a massive shift on a huge scale when it comes to the walkability of our built environments, and in the equitability of access to pedestrian safety.
