Welcome to Urban Details! Here's a guide to what this community is about with various examples

Hi everyone. This is a place to notice and celebrate stuff that cities do right. Here, you can post anything from your own photos of some interesting findings around the world to articles discussing future urbanism projects.

I’ve compiled a list of some examples of the content I think fits in this community, and I’m open to your suggestions and ideas on how we can improve the ruleset going forward.

Urban Infrastructure
Bike lanes, pedestrian paths, green tram ways, and all other useful or innovative urban development
Examples: Amsterdam bike infrastructure, Barcelona superblocks or Reykjavik heated sidewalks

Public Spaces
Unique chillout zones, interesting parks, unusual equipment at children's playgrounds or public space design in general
Examples: Stockholm metro, Superkilen Park Copenhagen, Archimedes screw playground thing

City Lighting
Anything from streetlights or bollard lights to facade lighting setups that bring something unique to city nights
Examples: An article about lighting, a random Pinterest board

Street Furniture
Unique or interesting outdoor furniture pieces found in public spaces, be they simply modern, beautiful, or unusually comfortable

City Easter Eggs
Small or hidden details in the city, like tiny statues or architectural elements that might be easily missed

Successful Accessibility Projects
Effective solutions for accessibility, such as sidewalk ramps, urban navigation totems, braille-annotated 3D representations of various POIs, tactile paths, etc.
Examples: Tactile Last Supper, wayfinding totems
