The story of two urban design hacks that worked
Alex sez, "One of the best pieces I've ever seen on the kinds of political choices that make North American cities livable, or not. A comparison of Portland, OR and Vancouver, BC, from the point of view of a Seattle writer. Thirty years ago both cities decided to take roads less travelled - deemphasizing cars, promoting walkable streets and compact development, investing in transit. Now you can see the results: two of the most livable cities in the world. The story of two urban design hacks that worked." Link Discuss (Thanks, Alex!)Share this post
