@neesha_na the people hopefully! Sometimes it doesn't feel like that though... #iiturbanism

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

Is Chicago becoming more or less Chicagoan? Is Chicago expanding too much that it'll lose its identity? #iiturbanism

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

@LeslieSchamber I think it starts w/one person speaking up which could lead to a chain reaction that sparks interest in others #iiturbanism

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

If Chicago started to take the steps to become a carbon neutral city, what would be its 1st step? Is it feasible? #SmartCities #iiturbanism

Site visit on Taylor St! #iiturbanism #LittleItaly #itskindofabigdeal

@renyizhang I think the next step is to make cities more ped friendly and activating alleys would further along the process #iiturbanism

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

Is it too late for Chicago or other major cities to create a urban growth boundary? Would cities really benefit from them? #iiturbanism

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

@phordosi More pedestrian friendly streets! I think converting some parts of state street would be a good start. #iiturbanism

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

If putting ppl before cars improves quality of life in a city, why isnt it implemented more? Are some cities too big? #iiturbanism #Curitiba

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

@RichieHands Many. If cities were more walkable and encouraged bike travel there would be less pollution congestion issues etc #iiturbanism

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

Should biomimicry be used more in urban design? Wouldnt mimicking nature, benefit nature? So why isnt it used more? #WaterinLa #iiturbanism

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

@NadimYahchouchi These ppl may have a lack of education, but that's not always their fault. Outreach programs could help more. #iiturbanism

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

Is social organization the way to revitalize ghettos in a positive manner? If so, what steps do they need to take to do so? #iiturbanism

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

@GiovanniCabrale I think so! The space could focus on the senses such as sight, smell, etc., which could invoke a neurological response!

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

Is there a space in Chicago that could benefit from movable chairs rather than the fixed benches it already has? #iiturbanism

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

@murewaderayo can the character of the street be determined by the character of the people? #iiturbanism

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

Is the development of mixed-use buildings the way to "repair the fabric of communities"? #iiturbanism

[Kristen Barrett @kbarret2]

@Yohan_John_Kim New York has started to incorporate some pedestrian only places such as Times Square.I really think it could improve economy

"The tramway has no right to exist in the heart of the modern city." - Le Corbusier. Would Corb approve of Chicago's "L" today? #iiturbanism
