Short one today! 

I enjoyed the conversation about "Brains, hormones, and time" with Dunbar. 

If you haven't subscribed to "The War on Cars" yet, this 100th episode might be a good start.

Leadership

The Backbone of a Successful Team: 1:1s, Skip Levels, and the Delegation Framework (with Spencer Norman, VP of Engineering at Privy) [Podcast] - there is a lot in this. I don't agree with all of it.

Brains, hormones and time - the invisible causes of better workplace culture [Podcast] - Mr. Dunbar talking about his number in a business context. 

Being Right Doesn’t Matter - you have to bring people to your side too. 

How to start a movement / love is the message - Alex about how to maybe start a movement. 

Running your engineering onboarding program. - I agree that a good on-boarding is super important for any company.

Urbanism

15-minute cities: mundane planning concept or global conspiracy? [Podcast] - this is probably the funniest conspiracy theory lately. 

The War on Cars Turns 100 [Podcast] - most likely the most fun urbanisation podcast out there.

Opinion To revitalize downtowns, cities need to stop making this big mistake - converting offices to flats

A (very) Short History of French Politicians & Urbanism in Paris - A Coolville Experience [YouTube] - it always looks like change is very recent, but it is really along processs

Why Bad Street Design is Both Costly and Deadly [YouTube] - very US focus, but it still applies everywhere
