Boston to unveil transportation plan for future
"The future of transportation in Boston includes fewer cars on the road, heavy reliance on public transit, and lots of so-called microhubs, one-stop access points where commuters can share a bus, bike, or car."

Dallas' new boss gives City Hall a long-overdue extreme makeover
"It's fast becoming clear that T.C. Broadnax did not have a high hurdle to clear to become The Best City Manager in Dallas' recent history. The man's barely a month into his gig, and already council members stare at him during weekly meetings like a sixth-grade crush, and address him with deference bordering on adoration. They ask him to investigate every query; they beg him to solve every problem."

The Baltigram project is analysing selfies to reveal links between history, identity and built environement
"The SPIN Unit (Spatial Intelligence Unit) is a small but global team of data scientists, artists, urban designers and one philosopher.

Austin Is Starting a Three-Year Plan to Fight Congestion With Bikes
"Central Austin seems to have everything: a massive research university, the world’s biggest annual media festival and one of the country’s strongest local job-creation engines. But when a city sees so much success, it runs short of something else: space. Austin is filling up. Its freeways and arterials are packed with cars."
