Image from Wikimedia CommonsLast summer, Newsweek reported that researchers had identified an unnerving trend: American childrens' scores on creativity tests (a la the Torrance Test) were, for the first time since they started being administered in the late 1950s, starting to drop. The article's authors, Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman, identified two likely factors in creating this downward turn, one being …

Mindrelic - Manhattan in motion from Mindrelic on Vimeo.I've gotten kind of bored with urban timelapse videos since they've become A Thing, but this is head and shoulders above the rest. Really epic stuff. (Thanks Alex!)

That's a Wordle of the top ten words from the 50 items that were in my starred folder on Google Reader when I started putting together this post. The order is totally random...and vaguely poetic, no? In other news: how is it time for Weekend Reading again?? Where did this week go? Anyway...ITEM ONE: Over at the IfUD, we've launched the …

Memorial Day means extra reading time!ITEM ONE: Anyone who's familiar with the unique joy of finding an easter egg in a video game will love this week's leader--check out Repudo, a new app that turns the city into one giant easter egg hunt.ITEM TWO: Humans are just so darned clever.ITEM THREE: The Space …

With 166 people per square mile, Honduras is in the middle of the pack as far as national population densities are concerned. But what would it look like if you packed every single Honduran into one city? As it turns out, it might look a lot like New York: both contain approximately 8.2 million people. Below are images of the administrative …

Photo credit: chepenicoliA recent post at MarketWatch suggests that Las Vegas could be on its way to becoming the next Detroit, a metropolitan mire populated mostly by those who can't afford to leave. Indeed, the two cities share some striking parallels: both are industry towns, Detroit for auto manufacturing, and Vegas for gaming tourism; both cities experienced intense booms, Detroit at …

It's a week full of revivals. Weekend Reading is back. In truth, it should never have left. Apologies. My Google Reader is overflowing, so most of these are a bit older; we'll catch up soon enough. Anyway, let's get to it?ITEM ONE: Top billing goes to a guest post by Utazó over at Polis (the ace blog run by former Wherebloggers …

As a very new New Yorker last summer, I took to spending extended periods perusing the Census of Places that Matter, a crowdsourced database of significant locations around the five boroughs. When I stumbled upon a promising entry for Florent Morellet's legendarily-eccentric, eponymous diner (founded in the Meatpacking District before it was The Meatpacking District), excitement quickly turned to disappointment when …

Long time no see, friends. No, Where's not coming back, but I did start a new blog. This one is heavier on the images and lighter on the text...in fact, there really isn't any text. Just images. It's a photoblog called Eighths of a Mile. RSS-ize it! I promise that it won't suck.Also, if you're looking for more Where-esque fixes, I'll …

Where's Twitter following grew by two thirds this week...an impressive jump, but I know there are still some stragglers out there. The site is extremely fun, and truly a very social form of the much-vaunted (but often-lacking) "social media"...there are many urbanism tête-à-têtes to be had. Come join! And if you're already following, I'd definitely appreciate it if you'd consider alerting …

Quite a few of you have begun following Where over at Twitter this week, and it's been great to see the response so far. Still, there are plenty of you who have yet to take the plunge...so for the next couple of Fridays, Where will be taking a ride in the Wayback machine and reviving an old tradition to promote a …

Hi RSS-followers. I've been dragged, semi-reluctantly, into the Twitter arena...and it's turning out to be kind of fun. Consider this blog micro'd. The handle is thewhereblog. Tell all yo' friends.

After a pretty solid run of two years, five months, ten days, and 470 posts, the pull of new projects has forced my hand: it's time to say farewell to Where. I'm not much for long goodbyes, but I do want to thank all of this blog's longtime readers for their interest and their input. Perhaps, a few years down the …

This is Part Three in a series looking at Dharavi, a mostly informal township in Mumbai often referred to as Asia?s largest slum, and the government?s controversial plans to redevelop it. With billions of dollars on the table, tens of thousands of homes and businesses at stake, and the global spotlight shining bright, this case of contested urban space is worth …

Everyone likes to get free stuff, even when it's crap, like brochures and keychains at a trade show, or a reusable bag from your local market. Retailers and businesses give out free things as a marketing ploy, to build rapport and disseminate information. Another form of free comes in the newspaper ads, with the buy one get one free coupon, or …

The High Line is an elevated park that runs along the west side of Manhattan. It is built on a former railway that was used from 1934 until 1980. It was then taken over by vegetation, becoming a sort of informal and (not completely) inaccessible greenway above the streets. In 1999, local residents Joshua David and Robert Hammond founded Friends of …

The American city has taken quite the rollercoaster ride over the past 70 years. For the half century following World War II, anti-urban sentiment managed to keep pace with the United States? unprecedented affluence, creating glistening suburban landscapes that surrounded increasingly troubled urban cores. Eight of the ten largest US cities in 1950 recorded their historical population peaks that year (only …

Cities have been getting a lot of attention lately with the majority of earth's population residing in dense urban cores for the first time in history. There seems to be a growing consensus that cities are the way forward and that suburbs should burn in hell for destroying out beautiful countrysides, our farmlands, and promoting unsustainable lifestyles. So how do we …

Why is it that so many of the people out there studying/analyzing/writing about new urban trends, new technologies, new social configurations, etc. are either well past or fast approaching midlife?xxxWatching academics (or worse: bureaucrats and business gurus) try to keep up with the frenetic pace of our present-day spatial, cultural, social, etc. milieus can be a sad sight. Pro Thinkers struggle …

An exceptional Philadelphia school is training students in food production and environmental care on an urban farm.

Located in the upper Roxborough neighborhood, it includes a 130-acre working farm, complete with livestock, greenhouses, crops, and pastures.Saul offers majors in food science, …
