This dude, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, really was rocking the whole #SolarPunk vibe long before the movement was born. NICE!

  Friedensreich Hundertwasser

He emigrated to the Far North of New Zealand in the 1970s, where he lived and worked for most of the rest of his life. Hundertwasser stood out as an opponent of "a straight line" and any standardization, expressing this concept in the field of building design. His best known work is the Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna, which has become a notable place of interest in the Austrian capital, characterised by imaginative vitality and uniqueness. Biography The Nazi era was a very difficult time for Hundertwasser and his mother Elsa, who were Jewish. They avoided persecution by posing as Christians, a credible ruse as Hundertwasser's father had been a Catholic. Hundertwasser was baptized...

Is this the most Solar Punk Building ever? (Apart from the missing Solar Panels!) Definitely one of my absolute favorites.

Perhaps the most ambitious car-free scheme in North America, Montréal has pedestrianized 11 commercial arteries—totalling 9.4 kilometres—in seven boroughs this summer. A pandemic-era initiative pushed by chambers of commerce, they have quickly become cherished destinations for locals and tourists alike.

Montréal City Hall invested $12-million between 2022 and 2024 to open the streets in front of 2,100 local businesses: “The boroughs, business owners, residents, customers, passers-by, and tourists appreciate the quality of life offered by pedestrianization projects.” - Mayor Valérie Plante.

Ultimately, these car-free streets are built on the recognition that shopping districts can either attract cars or people. They can’t successfully do both. And in an age of online retail, these brick-and-mortar businesses realize that they really can’t compete on expedience—so they must compete on experience.
