Philadelphia Doesn’t Have to Choose Betw...
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......

Unlocking the prosperity of the UK's cor...
The gravitational pull of London is not a phenomenon shared by other large British cities which are trailing much further behind. The Centre for Cities' Cities Outlook 2014 recently found that “four fifths of all net jobs created since 2010 are in London” and Bristol was the only city outside of London that consistently performed economically better than the national average. There is therefore a ......

In favour of direct aid for cities
The collapse of Rana Plaza in Dhaka in April 2013 caused the death of over 1,100 workers and injured more than 2,500 others. The Plaza was originally designed to hold shops and offices, which contain only light loads (desks, cabinets, some stock, etc.), but at the time the building was being used as a factory with heavier machinery and loads which went beyond the building's capacity. In addition, ......

Renewing our mission: maintaining a crit...
Anyone paying attention to these pages will have noticed a protracted slowdown over the past 12 to 24 months. I alone take the blame for this, and I apologise fully to everyone whose loyalty and patience has been tested over this time. I suspect many readers (as well as many prospective writers) are not aware that The Global Urbanist is strictly a voluntary project for us and our contributors rath......

Future of cities
I have spent 25 years studying cities, and culture; so it was an interesting, if daunting, task to be asked to write one of the working papers for the Foresight Future of Cities project. It was a welcome opportunity to look at the ‘big picture’ that for various reasons we so rarely have the time and space to do. I am particularly glad that those commissioning the project decided to include ‘cultur......

Addressing Rising Sea Levels in South Fl...
State and municipal governments are taking steps to ensure the safety of their coastal communities by implementing more stringent design and building standards for new construction and redevelopment projects. They also are beginning to replace old infrastructure with flexible systems that can adapt to future conditions. Evidence of climate change is already noticeable in low-lying areas of south ......

CBI appears to back Heathrow over Gatwic...
The CBI is calling on the Airports Commission to recommend a single, larger hub airport for the UK, saying the move is critical for maintaining Britain's long-term economic growth. The CBI report, released on Monday, effectively endorses Heathrow over Gatwick, just days before the commission is due to decide whether to eliminate the Thames estuary airport option from its consideration. The call ......

Interest on Rise for Greece High-End Hot...
PORTO HELI, Greece—For 20 years, the building had been an empty eyesore on the shores of this picturesque bay. Unable to keep up with the changing times, the 1970s-era hotel went bust, was seized by creditors, and eventually shut its doors in the mid-1990s. Today, Greece's newest ultrachic, five-star hotel stands out on the location like a dazzling, postmodern sculpture visible from miles around.......

Downtown Development Lessons from Jersey...
As I’ve said before, I feel that the prospects for renewed development in downtown Newark are fairly high. This wouldn’t be the first city in New Jersey to go through a period of massive development in recent times. Two PATH Train stops to the East is Jersey City. Here, on land previously dominated by rail yards serving New York City, new towers have been going up. While there are some development......

Factoring Transit Times into Development
When making decisions about where to develop their next residential or commercial project, real estate developers should factor in the actual transit times it takes their customers to carry out the tasks of daily living, transit consultant Jarrett Walker said at a presentation to ULI members and staff at the Institute’s Washington, D.C., headquarters last week. To illustrate his point, Walker, au......
