That's the question we asked attendees at this year's Velo-city Conference, organized by the European Cyclists' Federation and held in the Italian city of Rimini. Lots of mayors and elected officials and even advocates talk a lot of what cities should do for cycling, but making it easier for people to cycle in a city unlocks a host of benefits, even for people who will never get on a bike. Hear what people from places around the world—including Mozambique, India, Switzerland, France, and the U.S.—think about the power of the humble bicycle to transform streets, society, and our planet.

On a hot Summer day your luxury Mercedes will give you a lasting imprint of their logo

Vinyles, cassettes audio, appareils photo argentiques, Renault 5 ou encore tournées d'artistes emblématiques... À rebours de la course à l'innovation, les produits et références du passé connaissent un véritable regain d'intérêt. Un phénomène qui dépasse la simple mode pour les entreprises, la nostalgie est devenue un puissant levier marketing et un marché particulièrement rentable. On parle souvent d'innovation, de nouvelles technologies et de produits capables de transformer notre quotidien. Pourtant, un phénomène prend aujourd'hui le contre-pied de cette tendance : le retour en grâce d'objets qui semblaient appartenir au passé. Et si cela peut sembler anecdotique, cette nostalgie est devenue un véritable moteur économique. Les spécialistes du marketing parlent d'un effet « Madeleine de Proust ». Un simple emballage, une musique, un logo ou un objet suffit à faire resurgir des souvenirs heureux. Et ces souvenirs ont une valeur économique. Le secteur de la musique illustre parfaitement cette évolution. Certes, les plates-formes de streaming comme Deezer ou Spotify dominent largement les usages, permettant d'écouter n'importe quel morceau à tout moment. Mais dans le même temps, un produit emblématique du passé retrouve ses lettres de noblesse : le vinyle. Aux États-Unis, il représente désormais un marché de plus d'un milliard de dollars, une première depuis le début des années 1980. La dynamique est similaire, même si elle reste plus modeste, pour les cassettes audio. La génération Z alimente cette demande Le plus étonnant est que ces produits ne séduisent pas principalement les consommateurs qui les ont connus. Les études montrent que ce sont surtout les membres de la génération Z, nés à la fin des années 1990 et au début des années 2000, qui alimentent cette demande. Beaucoup n'ont jamais utilisé de vinyle ou de cassette, mais ils en achètent malgré tout. Le même phénomène s'observe avec les appareils photo argentiques. Kodak a dû relancer certaines lignes de production de pellicules pour répondre à la demande, tandis que les appareils Polaroid ou Fujifilm séduisent à nouveau. Ce qui plaît, c'est autant l'expérience que le résultat : le caractère concret de l'objet, l'attente avant de découvrir les clichés, mais aussi l'imperfection des images. À l'inverse, les smartphones permettent de prendre une infinité de photos, parfois sans véritablement marquer le moment. Les marques misent sur leur patrimoine pour séduire les consommateurs Les entreprises ont parfaitement compris cette évolution des comportements. Plutôt que de créer sans cesse de nouveaux produits, certaines préfèrent valoriser leur patrimoine en modernisant des références déjà connues du grand public. Renault en est une parfaite illustration avec la nouvelle Renault 5. Le constructeur a ressuscité l'un de ses modèles emblématiques des années 1970, tout en l'adaptant aux attentes actuelles. La voiture est désormais électrique et intègre les technologies contemporaines, mais son design rappelle immédiatement un modèle qui a marqué plusieurs générations. Cette stratégie dépasse largement l'automobile. Dans le spectacle vivant, les reformations de groupes comme Oasis ou les Backstreet Boys rencontrent un immense succès. En France, le retour du télé-crochet Star Academy ou la tournée de la chanteuse Lorie témoignent de cette même dynamique. Dans tous les cas, ce n'est pas uniquement un produit ou un spectacle qui est vendu : c'est aussi une émotion, un souvenir et un sentiment de familiarité. Pourquoi la nostalgie est devenue un puissant levier économique Si les entreprises misent autant sur la nostalgie, c'est aussi pour des raisons économiques. Créer une marque ou lancer un produit inédit représente un investissement important et comporte une part de risque. À l'inverse, remettre au goût du jour une marque ou un produit emblématique permet de s'appuyer sur un univers déjà connu des consommateurs. Les marques historiques bénéficient d'un fort capital affectif et émotionnel, deux éléments particulièrement efficaces pour déclencher un achat. Les spécialistes parlent parfois de « rétrofuturisme » : une stratégie qui consiste à utiliser les codes du passé pour rendre les innovations plus rassurantes et plus désirables. Cette approche présente un autre avantage. Elle permet de toucher plusieurs générations simultanément. Les consommateurs les plus âgés retrouvent des objets qui leur rappellent leur jeunesse, tandis que les plus jeunes découvrent un univers qu'ils n'ont jamais connu. Pour eux, le vintage devient finalement... une nouveauté. À l'heure où l'innovation technologique s'accélère, le passé est ainsi devenu une ressource économique à part entière. Les entreprises ne vendent plus seulement un produit ou un service, elles commercialisent aussi une émotion, un souvenir et une part d'histoire.

Some of you may know Adam as one of the co-hosts of the Streets Ahead podcast. At Fusion Media, Adam created the #BikeIsBest campaign, which included a brilliant video that showed people using far more powerful tools than they needed to do ordinary household tasks. It cuts right to the absurdity of building a system where people default to using pickups, SUVs, and other large automobiles just to do simple tasks like getting milk at a nearby store. In this conversation, Adam explains that a concept called "pluralistic ignorance" can make it difficult to build the kinds of streets we all want, but there is hope.

The Comte Jules-Albert de Dion's steam tractor crossed the finish line first but the judges concluded that his vehicle required too much support to satisfy the competition's objectives, so the principal prize was shared between the manufacturers Panhard et Levassor and Peugeot, whose petrol cars were considered the most practical ...

Pour écouter 5.000 ans d'Histoire en une fois, sans pub et avec les Bonus :https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/S-tavkjvmo Ce 22 juillet 1894 voit la première course automobile, Paris-Rouen. Ce jour-là, à l'aube, le bois de Boulogne à Paris bruit d'une agitation inédite. Des centaines de curieux, des journalistes, des cyclistes, des bourgeois curieux, devant eux, alignés sur la ligne de départ, 21 voitures, ou plutôt 21 machines étranges, grinçantes, brinqueballantes, fumeuses, rutilantes. C'est le départ de la première course automobile de l'histoire. Un Paris-Rouen, 126 km à parcourir sans cheval et sans calèche, vous l'avez compris, juste des moteurs. L'épreuve est organisée par le Petit Journal pour prouver que l'automobile n'est pas un gadget, mais plutôt l'avenir du transport. Le règlement est clair, la voiture gagnante devra être sans danger, facile à conduire et bon marché à entretenir. Les engins sont diverses, vapeur, essence, mélange improbable d'ingéniosité et de bricolage. Il y a des Peugeot, des De Dion-Bouton, des Panhard et Levassor. Le départ est donné ce dimanche à 8h du matin. Certains caleront dès les premiers mètres, d'autres devront s'arrêter pour faire le plein d'eau bouillante. La foule acclame, encourage, rit aussi. Elle comprend qu'elle assiste à quelque chose de nouveau, l'invention d'une vitesse, d'un son, d'un mode de vie. Le premier arrivé à Rouen est le Comte de Dion avec un tricycle à vapeur. Mais comme son véhicule nécessitait un mécanicien embarqué, il ne sera pas officiellement vainqueur. Le prix revient au véhicule à essence Peugeot et Panhard, ex aequo. Ce 22 juillet 1894, j'insiste, la voiture cesse d'être un jouet d'ingénieur. Elle entre dans la société et le monde moderne vient de démarrer.

A few days ago I reported on the structural failure at the former Pfizer headquarters at 235 East 42nd Street in Manhattan. Late last week we learned a few more details. The structural engineer on the project has now publicly stated that the reinforcing steel specified in the construction drawings was apparently never installed on the two columns that ultimately buckled.If that statement ultimately proves to be correct, then this wasn't a design failure.It was an execution failure.The columns in question are made of steel. They are made of structural steel that looks like an I beam, except it is vertical instead of horizontal. The engineer called for steel plates to be welded to the sides of each beam in order to create a box beam out of the I-beam profile. This was not done. The photos of the failed columns clearly show the original columns with no welded plates. I've looked at the detail on the structural drawings which clearly show the treatment for four different types of columns. The columns near the exterior are the ones in question. That makes me ask a different question.How did this get past everyone?Now, I want to be careful.The official investigation is still underway. The Department of Buildings, the Department of Investigation and independent forensic engineers are all examining what happened, and no final conclusions have been reached. The city has also expanded inspections to other projects involving the same developer and inspection firm while investigators determine whether broader quality-control issues exist.But regardless of where responsibility ultimately lands, this incident exposes something much larger.A gap in quality assurance.Quality assurance isn't glamorous. Nobody celebrates it. Nobody gets awards for finding problems before they become disasters. But every high-reliability industry depends on it.Software isn't shipped without testing.Aircraft aren't delivered without  every component undergoing inspection and certification.Automobiles undergo extensive inspection on the factory floor before they're ever sold.As you think about that, ask yourself one simple question.In your own business, where are you relying on assumptions instead of verification?-----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

In most parts of the United States and elsewhere, sidewalks exist in a legal grey area. They are public spaces that, at least when it comes to things such as maintenance and snow removal, are largely the responsibility of private property owners. They are subject to all manner of laws that govern what kinds of activities can take place on them, laws that change not just from city to city, but sometimes from neighborhood to neighborhood, block to block, and address to address. They are also an important part of the transportation network and a key component in the effort to keep pedestrians safe, although certainly not a panacea, even in rural areas. Michael Pollack, the author of an excellent new book, Sidewalk Nation: The Life and Law of America's Most Overlooked Resource, thinks that sidewalks need a whole lot more consideration in legal and governing circles, and even goes so far as to advocate for the creation of a Department of Sidewalks that can cut through the rather opaque rules that govern these narrow strips of concrete. (Or other materials, given that many sidwalks are often governmed by historic preservation laws.) ***For an extended, ad-free version of this episode featuring a bonus conversation about sidewalk delivery robots, become a Patreon supporter of The War on Cars.*** SHOW NOTES: Buy Sidewalk Nation: The Life and Law of America's Most Overlooked Resourc and support independent booksellers at our official Bookshop.org page.
