6 Ideas Every City Should Steal from Barcelona - 0 views

  •

The Congress may have talked a lot about urban technologies, but Barcelona reminds us how smart the fundamentals are when it comes to making great cities.

(I should disclose here that I am Global Research Professor for the NYU School of Continuing and Professional Studies).

THE BEAUTY OF URBAN PLANNING FROM THE GROUND - 0 views

  •  
    In a piece called The Beauty of Urban Planning from Space, the Sustainable Cities Collective highlights views from space of uniquely designed street pattern designs in various cities around the world. There are ten examples that illustrate the zenith of urban planning. As attractive as the street patterns are, they highlight the inevitable inability of designers, or anyone else for that matter, to influence much more than small changes in the overall urban form.

What Developers Get Wrong About Smart Growth - 0 views
