How Bogota offers a blueprint for climate-smart, resilient urban growth
Cities often treat housing, transport and climate policy as separate agendas. In practice, they are inseparable. A home determines water and energy demand, exposure to heat or scarcity, daily travel time, and whether climate action lowers household costs or remains a distant target.

NYC is now using smart signals to keep green lights open for buses and change them faster if they're waiting at a red
This is really not the way. I’ve seen it many times personally. The bus should move onto the next stop, while they check payment, instead we just sit there.
