Lower city speed limits are a road-safety policy, not a war on drivers
Reducing a speed limit sounds minor until it touches the everyday politics of streets. A few kilometres per hour becomes an argument about commute times, d
China’s 1-trillion-yuan reverse repo is a reminder that liquidity plumbing is now economic policy

Trade talks with seven new markets sound bold. The hard part is turning access into resilience

Tails from the Coasts:基督城冬天,去博物馆看一场慢慢展开的海岸故事
基督城的冬天,有些周末并不适合把行程排满。风冷、天短、雨说来就来,最舒服的安排反而是找一个室内空间,慢慢看,慢慢聊,再在附近喝杯热饮。Canterbury Museum Pop-Up 的 Tails from the Coasts: Nature Stories of Singapore 就适合这种…
残障五年方案不是福利清单:中国城市真正要补的是“能参与”的日常
一座城市是否方便,并不只看地铁有多新、商场有多亮、手机支付有多顺。它还要看轮椅能不能顺利进门,低视力者能不能辨认公共空间,残障学生能不能在普通学校得到支持,照护者能不能喘一口气,成年残障者能不能找到一份不被过度怜悯、也不被轻易排除的工作。 7月初,中国关于残疾人保障和发展的新一轮五年行动方案进入公共
姜味脆糖方块为什么像新西兰咖啡馆:饼底、姜香和一口甜辣
新西兰咖啡馆甜柜里,总有一些东西不靠颜值取胜,却很容易被老顾客记住。姜味脆糖方块就是这种甜点:底部是饼干一样的酥脆底,上面铺一层金黄姜味糖霜,切成方块。第一口是甜,第二口开始有姜的微辣,配黑咖啡或热茶刚刚好。 它不像帕夫洛娃那样有节日舞台,也不像奶油蛋糕那样需要层层装饰。它更像日常:学校义卖、家庭烘
今晚吃什么:白萝卜番茄牛肉炖锅,冬天一锅就很稳
冬天做饭最怕两件事:太清淡吃完不顶饱,太厚重又腻。白萝卜番茄牛肉炖锅正好卡在中间。白萝卜吸汤,番茄给酸甜,牛肉负责香气和满足感,一锅端上桌,配米饭、面包或面条都可以。它不追求餐厅摆盘,却很像真实家庭需要的晚餐。 新西兰超市和亚洲菜店都能买到白萝卜或类似萝卜。Vegetables.co.nz 的萝卜资
冬天去皮克顿和马尔堡峡湾:渡轮、海边步道和慢周末怎么排
很多人对皮克顿的印象,是“南北岛之间换船的地方”。车开进队列,咖啡匆匆买一杯,船一靠岸就继续赶路。可如果你愿意在这里多留一个晚上,冬天的皮克顿和马尔堡峡湾会变成另一种旅行:水面安静,山线清楚,镇子不大,节奏慢,适合把赶路变成休息。 这篇不是把皮克顿吹成大城市,也不是让你把冬天峡湾旅行排成打卡竞赛。它
