One of the best things about Minneapolis: the city set an urban planning policy that there should be a public park within a short walk (6 blocks, I think?) of every single residence in the city…

…and they set that policy something like •140 years ago•.

The whole city was designed and laid out around the premise of ubiquitous public space. It’s hard to overstate the positive cascading effects of this. 

 @b5a9024d @2a70c54d That's awesome. Here in the city of Milwaukee I live two blocks from a park, there's another half a mile away, and one more about a mile away. I can walk to all of them very easily, and walk in the one near my house at least once a week.
