Noise conditions for approval of Melbourne’s third runway. The recent approval of the construction of Melbourne’s third runway came with several conditions most of which related to noise. One major focus was on noise sharing which does not solve the problem. This is why our Noizend Shields being developed to reduce low-frequency noise entering homes is so important. Here are the conditions imposed by the Hon. Catherine King MP:- “Throughout my consideration of this proposal, the needs of the local community have been front of mind. That is why I have imposed certain conditions on Melbourne Airport in order for the third runway to proceed. These represent the most comprehensive set of conditions for a project of this type, including: Melbourne Airport providing a legally-enforceable commitment to restore the length of the east-west runway to maximise the opportunities for noise sharing; Design and implementation of a noise sharing and airspace plan that prioritises sharing of aircraft noise between affected areas; Implementation of a noise amelioration program to communities most impacted; And conducting a community health study into the impacts of noise before and after the establishment of the third runway – recording baseline data in the lead up to and for the first 20 years of the operation of the third runway. My decision to require that the airport maintain sufficient capacity on the existing east-west runway is to support effective noise sharing at Melbourne Airport, so that no one community bears the brunt of the airport’s growth. The noise sharing plan will be developed by the airport, and in consultation with local communities, over the years to come.”

Invention Talk: Traffic Lights 🚦 Ever stopped at a red light and wondered, "Who came up with this genius idea?" The humble traffic light has been keeping us safe and organized for over a century, starting with the first electric system in "Cleveland, 1914". Its iconic red, yellow, and green signals—borrowed from railway signs—revolutionized how we move through cities. Now, with smart traffic systems adapting to real-time conditions, this invention is smarter than ever! 💡 Is there still a single improvement you’d make to traffic lights in your city? Let’s rethink this everyday marvel together! #Innovation #UrbanPlanning #SmartCities

Sustainable Urban Mobility and air transport are not always a happy combination. Of course there is a clear added value for the use of drones in emergency services, traffic control monitoring, fire brigade sensing and where it replaces existing helicopter flights. But you can have doubts when industry is talking about 'mass production' of VTOL's for vertical public transport in cities. This morning at Autonomy a highly inspiring session "Getting to grips with air transport in cities" brilliantly moderated by Manon Coyne from the POLIS Network and with an interesting line up. Description session: "Can we move over cities, right above buildings, roads, and gardens, to complete urgent deliveries and access hard-to-reach areas? Find out which opportunities low-level airspace transport offers, and the inevitable downsides it entails. This panel discussion brings together experts representing different perspectives on the topic, from innovation and urban planning to technical developments. The most important is indeed to maintain stakeholder dialogue to inform decisions on the topic. To start with – or continue and enrich your knowledge, join this session!" It is of critical importance that cities and regions are aware of this development and get ready. We need to make sure that not industry but cities and citizens are at the forefront of decision making about our urban mobility system. After dealing with car dominance we're not waiting for another plaque ruining our cities.

As I cycle effortlessly on a traffic-free cycle lane, past an endless queue of single-occupant cars in the middle of the city, I wonder how and why we ever thought it was a good idea to design our cities for cars. When a few hundred thousand people decide they can't be arsed to take public transport, walk, cycle or use other micro mobility solutions, it was inevitable we'd end up here, wasn't it? The messed up thing is that private cars invariably sit for 95%+ of the time doing absolutely nothing. They're a scarily underutilised asset considering how much they cost. Yet our cities are built around them. It's mental. With good public transport and micro mobility infrastructure, there should be no need for most people to use a car around a city, unless you have physical or other needs. Even then, I'd argue the city of the future needs to accommodate. If you're an urban planner or regeneration specialist and you feel the same way, maybe Fyma can support your new initiatives. We'll provide you with insights from existing CCTV cameras that can help validate your thinking, allowing you to design, test and adapt better spaces and initiatives, quickly. #fyma #computervision #urbanplanning #micromobility #futurecity #localauthorities

I agree that developing a car friendly city is no longer the best approach. Bikes and public transportation should get higher priority now. However, this image doesn't use the correct metric to compare the capacity between different transportation modes. How many people can be moved is measured by the number of people per hour. While the bus can take more people than a car, it tends to travel slower from point A to point B. The MRT system can take more people in an hour than LRT. Yes the space is less. It means less pollution and less traffic. But this image oversimplifies the problem.

🚦 Have you heard about the MUTCD? This 1,000-page manual shapes how streets are designed across the U.S. — and it just got a major update. Our 2024 Vision Zero Cities Journal dives into what these changes mean for safer, people-centered streets. While the new MUTCD has some positives, it still prioritizes cars over people. Now more than ever, we need national standards that champion protected bike lanes, pedestrian safety, and transit-first design. Learn why MUTCD reforms are essential to achieving #VisionZero.
