each and everyone of these pictures are stunning. thanks a dozen for sharing!

Amazing city, thanks for the pics! I agree that that moving walkway should be made permanently. Underground walkways add to the urban experience imo. I love the park on Pennsylvannia Avenue with the grid built into it. One of the creators of this sculpture is Dutch (Coosje van Bruggen), her...

Definitely not a comprehensive tour of the city center, these were taken mainly along the canals in the eastern part of the city. music One of the best places to get an "Amsterdam Coffee" ;) Prinsengracht with Westerkerk in the background...

re: great pics! Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed all the construction updates! The amount of construction is stunning. I also particularly like West 8's Spadina Wavedeck :)

^there's a few in Ontario along the Grand River (not that far from Toronto actually), Paris is the best-known of them. Here's two other ones: Cambridge click to open: Elora The're more common in Europe. One of the better examples: Monschau, Germany

Vermontx55: Burlington & Montpelier In June, I toured through the Northeastern US (NJ-PA-NY-VT-NH-MA-CT-NY) for 3 days, here are a couple of pics I took of two of Vermont's larger cities. I would have loved to continue onto Montreal, as it's only a little bit further north from Burlington, but...

Over the past few months, a huge pile of photos of Florida cities has accumulated on my computer. I'm trying to work my way through this backlog of picture threads before I make two trips to the NorthEast in the coming weeks. I'll post another thread on Celebration (a New Urbanist Heaven?) and...

Hipster, it's a really monotone street in terms of land use- not much more going on than offices and residences. The older part of downtown sports much more retail, tho. It's also much more populated by pedestrians. Dan, spot on. Not many states have been hit as hard by foreclosures as...

These pics were taken on my 3 trips down to Miami in November, December and January. I mostly focused my photo shooting on Downtown and South Beach. Hopefully one day I’ll get to return and take more pictures of individual neighborhoods like Coral Gables. There’s still a lot left to discover in...

Looks like the perfect mixture of European and North American cities. Thanks for sharing!

So, family circumstances had me going back to The Motherland just 3 months after I had moved to the U.S. Of course I had to pay my old college town a visit, and enjoy it's centuries old architecture, which I could really appreciate after 3 months in Florida, the land of strip malls and...

St. Augustine is the oldest continually occupied European settlement in the US. It was founded by Pedro Menendez in 1565. At that time, it's inhabitants were a mere 700 soldiers and colonists. Until 1821 it was under Spanish rule, although it was briefly under British control for 21 years in the...

I'm hoping this proposal will pass. Besides the benefits already stated here, I'm particularly excited about the free movement of labour. Many EU citizens will be encouraged to move to Canada by this law. We've seen large migration waves in the recent past due to expansion of the free...

Legalize it, then cultivate it in special labs like they do over in Holland, so that we have at least one place in Northern America where you can get some weed with a decent amount of thc instead of the weak crap we have nowadays. :D Having said that, I still envy Canada's liberal attitude...

Interresting technique! I'd say the results are well-worth posting, although some pictures are somewhat hazy. Welcome to the forum btw! Are you living in Boston? The city looks like pure urban goodness. Your pictures are a solid reminder I need to get myself up north.

Canada joining the EU? Come on. We might aswell invite New Zealand and South Africa too. As a European, I'm firmly against non-European countries joining the EU because they are just that: non-European. It's the European Union after all. Now what I would support is a ' special relationship '...

Before moving into Gainesville for the start of college next week, I took a few days time to explore Orlando (no, not the theme parks!). It has a nice downtown, and Lake Eola Park really is an asset to cherish. However, it is pretty dead after business hours, except for clubbing nights on the...

I hear ya. Just saw on the news that now even students have to leave Beijing. While most of them come from provinces hundreds of kilometres away, and have nowhere to go. I'm starting to feel something for the idea of state leaders boycotting these Olympics (though that's unlikely to happen).

Welcome to the Forum swaugh! Regarding your 3rd point of attention, yes they do not have a complete transit system today, but it's not like they aren't working on it. They seem to have a better integration of the metro area with the surrounding region planned, transportation wise...

Thanks for sharing. Kind of like LA, this seems to be another one of America's largest cities that yet doesn't really have an urban vibe, despite being so populous. Like allabootmatt said, it makes T.O. looks pretty much like heaven, in terms of urbanity. A month from now I'll be living five...
