Cities can be a character in a film

Have you ever watched a movie and realized that the real star of the movie is the location?

For City Builders this week, we talk about many movies that we love, focusing on the cities that they’re based in

Before and after.
Seeing the parts and the whole at once helps reveal how time and evolution shape the city. Here, a parking lot becomes a beloved public park while surrounding lots gradually develop over decades.

Almost like a chessboard where the pieces don’t move,they evolve.

Who better to talk with about Missing Middle Housing than the man who coined the term, colleague Dan Parolek? Talked MMH, #MediumScaleMediumDensity, and cities. Then toured Dan and Ben Bolgar around Detroit to explore new projects and the city’s evolving development landscape.

Add bikes to a city…..increase personal freedom

[Julie Anne Genter @JulieAnneGenter]

20 years ago I lived in Paris. It was lovely but also clogged with polluting traffic. People thought I was mad for riding a bike, almost no one else did. Now it’s a normal thing to do. Air pollution, noise & traffic deaths have all plummeted. Took real leadership.

@alexbozikovic Shade, shade, shade-For five or six months of the year, many of these areas will be largely unusable for people, unless there’s some kind of shade element. More trees, canopies, sunscreen, elements, etc….These are critical components for spaces to be usable during sunny/hot days

Cars across the street,parked illegally for the yearly #ArtinthePark event are proving a point.Their presence acts to slow traffic, and has me questioning why we don’t just allow parking on both sides of the street. #trafficcalming #yieldstreets #nospeedhumps
