Blog discovery of the day:
The Infrastructurist, which focuses on issues such as transport and urban planning, from a largely, though not entirely, US-centric point of view, and has some interesting stories. Such as
a LA Times piece on the Dubai model of urbanism,
an Economist piece on the Obama administration's US$500bn transport bill (which includes
50 billion for high-speed rail),
a Google Maps gallery of six intriguingly shaped communities, a piece on
what to do when neo-Nazis decide to sponsor a US highway (the answer: rename it after a civil rights leader), and
a gallery of grand railway stations in America, all now long-since demolished.
