Some days on a roadtrip you pass through villages that you think: God maybe I could live here.
But it is always merely a stop during the journey, sometimes for a drink, or some food, or gasoline.

Sometimes just for the night.

When many people think of #Phoenix, they think of endless suburban sprawl. And, certainly, that’s part of the story. But here’s something that many are surprised to learn:

Four of the five largest city parks are located in metro Phoenix

Results of a recent lighting survey in Rome showed that "walking comfort was affected by mean luminance of whole scene, of sidewalk, of lateral wall and of human body; luminance also influenced the perception of street lighting intensity and uniformity and, to a lesser extent, the visibility of other people and of background."

I've been skeptical of "free" public transit, but it is hard to argue with these results. The only way this will work is to find new sources for operating funds than the farebox.

Federal grants don’t always go to the communities that need them most.

Data for the US Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Community Development Block Grant program shows just that. The grants target low- and moderate-income communities, but a disproportionate share goes to the moderate-income neighborhoods, not the ones suffering the most.

Researchers explain how “return on investment” doesn’t reduce inequality:

Here’s an idea for better cities: Make owners of big SUVs & pickups pay more to park.

That's what Montreal now does -- and it's the first North American city to try it.

In Bloomberg CityLab, I explored a groundbreaking way to fight back against car bloat.
