Grey skies with trees in Stanley Park on the left, and a person on the Seawall path by the water. A marina and the towers of the downtown skyline on the right. The tide is high and the waters of Coal Harbour reflect the scene on its glassy surface. Overhead, a seaplane is heading in for landing on the other side of the park

I post from this perspective often since it’s one of my favourite Vancouver views. Forest on one side, city on the other. At this moment, a seaplane coming in for landing.

American suburbs tend to privatize green space.
But cities, historically, have shared green spaces.

Cities pool resources to create better places, including parks and natural areas.

Great cities raise citizens' quality of life.

I enjoyed being a tourist in my own city, and would look for alternate views of the CN Tower. This is down in the corporate soul-sucking epicenter of financial fuckery, where window washers earn their pay. #photography #toronto #cntower #cities #canada

‘It’s just intimidating': Why many Calgary residents no longer feel safe | CBC News Public safety is a major talking point in Calgary, and our sense of safety is dropping. Calls to police from the public about disorder downtown reached a six-year high in 2025.

Widdle biddle babies in #Calgary just found out that all #cities have crazy people in the streets, not just #Ontario, because you feckers wont put money in public #healthcare. Just wait. This is nothing. Keep pretending.

Is Air Quality Getting Worse? The Truth About Pollution, Policy, and Power in the U.S. - Interconnected Earth To understand why air quality feels like it is worsening, even after decades of improvement, we need to examine the full system that produces it now.

Air quality isn’t just about smokestacks anymore.
It’s about commuting, urban sprawl, and how far people drive every day.

Even cleaner cars can’t offset millions of daily trips.

What Urban Planning’s Past Says About Tomorrow’s Cities A new book from Harvard scholar Bruno Carvalho marks the milestones and missteps that have shaped urbanization patterns around the world.

The Jetsons skipped traffic and parking lots. Real cities did not. What if future design learns from past mistakes instead of repeating them? www.bloomberg.com/ne... #future #cities #scifi

A campaign to curb cars in Berlin sparks uproar ahead of an election. by Anne-Sylvaine Chassany, Aysun Bora — The Financial Times

A campaign to curb cars in Berlin sparks uproar ahead of an election.

Conservatives and far right are opposing a citizens’ initiative to restrict, but not ban, motorised traffic in the German capital’s city centre.

A sign along the Seawall, covered in raindrops, that has a photo of the downtown skyline in the distance but it’s very outdated. Here’s the text on the sign: Once a thriving logging town, the downtown of Vancouver's skyline is now dominated by residential and retail developments, corporate headquarters, hotels and the distinctive "sails" of the convention and cruise ship centre. The City of Vancouver is 122 square km (44 sq. miles.) in size with mean temperatures of 16C (61 F) in summer and 44 Cl (39 F) in winter, Average rainfall is 1167mm (46 inches) and 1919 hours of sunshine. USE A WIDE ANGLE LENS PHOTO HINT AND MAKE SURE THE HORIZONS ARE LEVEL

I think this “Downtown Skyline” photo in Stanley Park is at least 30 years old (before it was the City of Glass). Vancouver has changed so much.

What would Henry George say about growing populations in cities? YouTube video by Henry George School of Social Science

Many people worry that if cities grow, a housing crisis will follow. But what if cities stopped penalizing development and no longer incentivized hoarding?

SIX PROOFS AND A WARNING: A Synthesis Essay in Urban Political Economy Vienna’s Housing Model, Tokyo’s Zoning Revolution, Henry George’s Tax, the Democratic New City, Why Remote Work Didn’t Save Us, and What the Slum Knows

Henry George proved land rent can fund cities without taxing work.
Remote work proved tech can’t fix political economy.
Informal settlements show where advanced cities are headed if they don’t change.

A picture of Geese and Mute Swans stood and laying down in a horizontal line at the edge of the Serpentine lake in Hyde Park in London, which is partially visible to the left of the birds. There is a boating house behind the birds and lake that has black and white rectangle and orange square panels below them, and both have black borders, and there is a traditional modern tiled roof above. There is a wide oath visible to the right of the birds and boathouse and humans walking past the boathouse in the top right corner of the frame.
