📢The book for June - Curbing Traffic: The Human Case for Fewer Cars in Our Lives

In 2019, mobility experts Melissa and Chris Bruntlett began a new adventure in Delft in the Netherlands. They had packed up their family in Vancouver, BC, and moved to Delft to experience the biking city as residents rather than as visitors.

​In Curbing Traffic: The Human Case for Fewer Cars in Our Lives, Melissa and Chris Bruntlett chronicle their experience living in the Netherlands and the benefits that result from treating cars as visitors rather than owners of the road. They weave their personal story with research and interviews with experts and Delft locals to help readers share the experience of living in a city designed for people.

Research shows that the number of days above 40 degrees in Canberra would increase, and the bushfire threat from urban bushland in the city's inner north would jump considerably.

Newly-released cabinet documents from 2010 show the government was warned high fire danger days would increase from 23 to 36 a year by 2050.
