"When we block traffic from a street, like for a sports event or a street party, we say that the street is “closed”. But who is it closed for? For motorists. But really, that street is now open to people" 🙌

[Harvard JCHS @Harvard_JCHS]

In 1919, Vienna began planning its world-famous municipal housing, known as the Gemeindebauten or “social housing,” a phrase that captures how the city's public and other limited-profit housing are a widely shared social benefit. @francescamari @nytimes

#pedestrianstreets

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen was filled with cars until a 2 year pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

#gridplan #urbanplanning

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

What do you picture when you imagine an "old" city?

Perhaps something like this — a labyrinth of streets in all shapes and sizes, some narrow and winding, others broad and majestic. Odd angles, dead ends, plazas, alleys... no apparent logic.

A jungle of organic urban growth.

#gridplan #urbanplanning

[The Cultural Tutor @culturaltutor]

This is the city of Timgad in Algeria, built by the Romans nearly 2,000 years ago.

Though the grid plan might seem like a modern invention, it's ancient.

From the Aztecs to the Egyptians, from Greece to China to the USA, here's why your city is (probably) built as a grid...
