  1. RE: scholar.social/@natebowling/11

    '*gentrification* is the process by which a neighborhood experiences an influx of wealthier residents and investment, often bringing higher property values, new businesses, and changes to the built environment. None of those things are inherently bad. The trouble comes with what often follows...Displacement occurs when rising housing costs, taxes, rents, or changing neighborhood conditions make it difficult or impossible for longtime residents to remain in the community they call home'

  2. after reviewing many literatures so far, there are 3 similar words that not enough bike/ped tooter/tweeter talk about.

    “urban form” focuses on the physical characteristics,

    “urban fabric” on the layout and structure,

    “urban morphology” on the study of their formation and transformation.

    but yeah all focus on urban environments and stuff

  3. Two ways of getting a coffee. I know which one I prefer.

    Can we please start building more human-centred cities in North America?
