Brand new infrastructure in Fairview, Dublin. Zebra crossing over cycle path. Onto that knobbly surface for blind users, to show them pedestrian crossings. This surface guides them past the footbridge and into a crossing that doesn't exist over a 5 lane road. The non crossing also has a barrier, directly in front of them. It's a disgrace

As urban landscapes evolve, so too must our approach to design. Imagine cities where automotive aesthetics blend seamlessly with architecture, creating spaces that inspire and connect. Let's rethink our environments, one innovative idea at a time. #UrbanDesign #Architecture
NYC is moving toward containerized waste storage to keep sidewalks cleaner and reduce rats. One key player? CitiBin, a modular waste enclosure designed to store trash, recycling, and packages in a weather-resistant structure.

As we unearth ancient cities in Egypt, I can't help but wonder: how will future generations view our urban landscapes? Will they see innovation or just concrete jungles? Let's design cities that tell stories, not just serve functions. #UrbanDesign #Architecture
A century ago, Los Angeles passed an ordinance that put cars above people. That model spread worldwide—even to cities where car ownership is low.

ITS InternationalWalk | Don’t Walk – actually, just Don’t WalkIn 1925 a traffic ordinance was introduced in Los Angeles. The 100-year anniversary is significant because, transportation historian Peter Norton suggests, the law in effect set the blueprint for car-dependency across the US. Adam Hill asks him how…
As we navigate the complexities of urban design, let's not forget the harmony between architecture and nature. The future of our cities should reflect sustainability, blending innovation with the beauty of our environment.

Hello everyone! Could you help me to better understand how public administration in your country could provide public spaces, parks, commons? Just to give you an example. In my city (Milan, Italy), the municipality can build something directly or, most of the time, when a builder/investor gets the building permit, he has to implement public facilities or pay city taxes as redistribution of surpluses. (Just a short summary)

"Chicago Air & Water Show" (2023)
Once a year, half the city seems to be spending their weekend afternoons on balconies and rooftops when airplanes blast through the Chicago sky. Sometimes I enjoy watching everyone searching for the noise somewhere in the air more than the actual planes flying by.

Some continuity. Exactly this would have been appreciated by Romans two thousand years ago. They were us. Their lives and their actions are directly relevant.

L'Eixample, Barcelona. 2019. Of all the cities I've been to, Barcelona is by far the best designed major city in the world. Yes it has beautiful architecture and great infrastructure, but I just loved how people centered/community oriented the urban design was for this city. I walked for miles in every direction and didn't have to stray from shaded sidewalks even once. Many of the intersections (at least in L'Eixample) are blocked off to cars and form informal squares where people gather to sit, socialize, and eat. The balconies of the apartment blocks that rise above these informal squares often feature hundreds of Catalan flags draped from balconies. The communitarian spirit of the city is on display at all times and feels so different coming from North America. I'll definitely return someday
