Links
Here are a few links that may be helpful for those interested in urban design:
Project for Public Spaces
Good, if populist, resource on public spaces. The authors take a more "I know art when I see it" approach but otherwise is a fairly common sense attitude toward public spaces throughout the world. http://www.pps.org/
Urban Design
UrbanDesign.org is based in Alexandria, Virginia. The site has a wide range of topics including information on transportation, conferences, books and examples of good, if at times nostalgic, urban design projects (Other than Europe and Canada, is there a U.S.-based "new urbanist" who has produced work that looks like it's been designed in and for the 21st century? The idea that new towns should be clothed in pre-industrial garb but wired for the 21st century is somewhat disturbing. ) http://www.urbandesign.org/
Stadtkreation
This site, created by a German urban designer, is a good sources of urban design projects, texts and links. http://www.stadtkreation.de
