  1. Think this was part of the Duke of Gordon's original "plan" for Tomintoul - a planned village. Big cross through it, guess there must be a plan b later somewhere. Main Street ended up being over a mile long.

  11. From the Skyneedle to the South Bank Parklands, here’s a look at the legacy left by Expo ’88

    Even six years out from the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, there is a sense of anticipation…

    In Australia, cycling aside, Parramatta is about as good as any city centre gets in terms of being high-density and pedestrian-friendly:

    There's more of this sort of stuff on my Pixelfed account.

    A basic rule of thumb is to think about how easily you'd get about a city if you don't own a car.

    Can you walk around comfortably? Is there good public transport? Are there car-free streets? Are there dedicated barrier-protected bike lanes on main roads?

    Can you comfortably get to everywhere you need to go without a car?

    Are there parks and green open spaces?

    Are there mixed-use buildings, with shops and cafés on the ground floor and offices or apartments above?

    Does public transport run every 10 minutes or better? Does it take you everywhere you need to go?

    Are there public spaces, like town squares, to hang out in?

  19. The suburban experiment was designed to skip over the messy process of incrementally assembling a neighborhood. But those steps are necessary, if the neighborhood is to grow strong and endure. Neighborhoods built all at once go bad all at once.

  30. One feature of Perth, WA is the 8 kilometres of formerly beautiful riverside from Mill Point in South Perth, south to Mt Henry, that is made obscene by the Kwinana Freeway.

    I was living in a caravan park nearby when they got serious about really stuffing that place up.

    What folk-memories are out there about how this was allowed to happen?
