[sustran] [Sustran] Other forum suggestions please

[eric britton]

Greetings and sorry to jam the air waves here, but Paul's suggestion that in
the last hours before the (I have to say it) sad demise of our good friend
old sustran-discuss -- suggestion that we poke through our communications
and knowledge sharing toolkit to see if we just might have something useful
for sharing with our colleagues in various corners of the world.

I did just that and here is our contribution: 

WORLD STREETS: SOCIAL MEDIA, BUILDING KNOWLEDGE, SHARING  & STRETCHING YOUR
MIND  (version of 9/19/2019)

Hoping to see you from time to time, and yes please do feel free to come in
and put them to good use. Have another topic that you would like to develop
here. Get in touch and let's have a look.

Regards and respect,

Eric Britton

thread)

Thank you everyone for all of the kind words.

I half expected that almost no-one would notice my announcement. So it is
encouraging that there are still people out there getting these messages.

Let's postpone the end for a few more days and have a final discussion to
suggest alternative forums.

*What internet places have good information, active discussion AND are
focused mainly on improving urban transport across a wide range of
countries, including the Global South? *

Here are some suggestions from me:

*On Facebook: *

The World Streets Global South group set up by our member Eric Britton:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/worldstreets/ The idea was to have something
like sustran-discuss on FB but it didn't (yet) take-off. It has only 103
members for now. But maybe we could breathe some life into it?

The SUTP Group (by GIZ's Sustainable Urban Transport Project):
https://www.facebook.com/groups/sutpasia/ with 3,238 members.

The Transportation Planning and Analysis group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/transport.planning/ with 2,841 members.

*LinkedIn:*

Does anyone find any LinkedIn groups useful?

*Twitter: *
Doesn't have groups but it is useful to follow the usual suspects there. I
am @PaulABarter for example. You would probably like many of the people
whose tweets I retweet or like or follow.

Do you second (or disagree with) these suggestions or have others of your
own? What have I missed? Are there blog or magazine sites with high quality
comments threads for example?
