Bufalino– The One Person Camper
Let's tear down all apartment buildings and each get one of these instead. Remaining challenge: Make them modular so you can dock several together for a while to create temporary larger communal living spaces.

Bookcrossing im öffentlichen Raum: schon an zwei Orten in Wien, zwei weitere folgen bald. Ein Projekt von Frank Gassner – das ist übrigens der, der das Metalab einst mit "völlig vertrottelte computernerds" zusammenfasste ;)

You might have seen this video of an epic Sim City 3000 creation... but this interview with the creator has some additonal gems:
"There are a lot of problems in the city hidden under the illusion of order and greatness ... The ironic thing about it is the sims in Magnasanti tolerate it. They don’t rebel or cause revolutions and social chaos. No one considers challenging the system by physical means ... They have all been successfully dumbed down, sickened with poor health, enslaved and mind-controlled just enough to keep this system going for thousands of years. 50,000 years to be exact. They are all imprisoned in space and time."

“ And then you get these articles about how unhealthy modern life is in a city, you know, you get "Mobile phone tumors far more likely in the city!" Well you know what, so is everything else. Including sex, coffee and conversation. ”— YouTube - Dylan Moran - Like Totally [1/7]

“ If you’re reading this, the chances are that you live in a large and vibrant city whose local politics are controlled and stifled by unresponsive and uncreative national parties who have approximately zero interest in urban issues.— Felix Salmon: The Urbanist Party bestposts
Most political parties are founded on the basis of some common bond, be it the trade union movement or the church. And most of those common bonds are increasingly irrelevant today, especially to city-dwellers. Instead, a new set of political desires has started to arise, one which simply doesn’t mesh with any parties on the left-right spectrum.
The core of the urban constituency finds itself in opposition to the nostalgic tales spun by both the left (which would love to recreate the job security of the 1950s) and the right (which would recreate the nuclear families of the 1950s). ”

“ [The creator of the first climate-controlled shopping mall] arrived in America as a refugee from Nazi-occupied Vienna.— Birth, death and shopping @ Economist.com
[The mall] was supposed to evoke a European city centre ... Shoppers were expected to sit and debate over cups of coffee, just as they do in the Piazza San Marco or the Place Dauphine. Gruen exiled cars, which he thought noisy and anti-social, to the outside of his mall.
Most contemporary critics thought Gruen had succeeded in bringing urbanity to the suburbs. Southdale was “more like downtown than downtown itself.” ”

“ Cities are bastions of environmentalism. ... While rural towns might look green, their per-capita rates of consumption and pollution are significantly higher. ... Efficiency scales with the size of the population. ”— Jonah Lehrer: "The Living City"
