The long view of London

The long view of London
In 1616, Claes Visscher illustrated a wide angled panorama of London as viewed from the South Bank of the Thames. In Visscher’s wake, Wenceslas Holler later drafted another insight into 17th century London, constructing his own panorama 30 years later in 1647. Holler’s illustration, so named the Long View of London from Bankside, spanned from Pimlico to the docks beyond the old London Bridge. From......

SMART CITIES: MEME OR PARADIGM SHIFT? The Dragon has met the Lion, with the partnership generating a predictable spectacle of showy infrastructure and corporate glitz. The Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city, a development designed for 350,000 residents and featuring malls, schools, and hospitals, has since 2007 attracted nearly US $400 million in private commercial investments, of which almost half ......

Urban housing policy can win the British general election of 2015. British politicians are neglecting 18- to 24-year olds: the only housing policy announced by the Conservatives that specifically targets young people is cutting housing benefits for those under 21! According to polling firm ComRes, 69% of British young people think voting is an important part of being involved in society, and 47% o......

When Shanghai Tower opens as China’s tallest building next year, the 2,073-foot (632 m) tower will feature elevators capable of traveling 40.3 miles (64.8 km) per hour, or 59 feet (18 m) per second, a new milestone. That bests the 55.1 feet (16.8 m) per second achieved by the elevators in the current record holder, Taipei 101 in Taiwan, which was completed in 2004. But Shanghai Tower likely will ......

A recent Washington Post headline asked the following: “It’s hard to build cities for kids. But do they really need them?” There’e plenty of evidence that suggests city-dwellers feel the answer is a resounding yes. Take the trending urbanist focus on building residences fit for multiple generations of a family. Look at municipal efforts, such as Seattle’s push for affordable family housing and Chi......

Dead ends: How zoning embalmed cities

Dead ends: How zoning embalmed cities
Since the last years of the nineteenth century, covenants had been widely used to exclude undesirable people, buildings, and activities from new subdivisions. But these private contracts worked only imperfectly and incompletely. Older neighborhoods still lacked their protection. In principle, landowners could establish restrictions at any time, but in practice covenants had to be imposed in advan......

A plan to build a 10-mile barrier dubbed the “Big U” to defend New York from the next superstorm received $355 million in federal funding this week.
