16.01.2022 Another beautiful example of how light transforms places. The artist has sought to connect community to the history of the landscape - results are pretty breath taking.

12.01.2022 Well thats one way to attract road repairs! Pot holes in Oregon, USA.

11.01.2022 Its about time we started prioritising not just pedestrian and cyclist safety in our cities but also the cultural, environmental and lifestyle benefits of giving our streets back to the people (and a few more street trees wouldnt hurt either) Lets hope this is at least trialled in Melbourne and the benefits inspire other cities and towns to follow!

10.01.2022 Sound like a neighbourhood near you? Integrated edible suburban neighbourhoods are the way of the future. Sink your teeth into this short number and you realis...e that urban living as we know it is about to change - vastly. This company hopes to roll out lots of these communities right around the world, the first one in Amsterdam (no surprises there). The technology in this proposal is possible in newly established settlements but doesnt answer the question of how we treat established neighbourhoods. URBAN FOOD STREET anyone? See more

09.01.2022 With lots of long awaited big ticket transit infrastructure arriving in the South East in the next few years, has cycling been overlooked in the strategy? A great initiative, idea and project in Auckland has already exceeded its initial targets and become a tourist attraction at the same time. Let us know where you think 240 tonnes of cycle way could help connect our own Australian cities....and what color it should be!
