Some of the items on the menu include planning for climate change and housing inequalities in China.

20 years ago

As we're about to say goodbye to 2007, I thought it would be nice to see some pictures of Montreal, 20 years ago. 

Here are some pictures from a Concordia alumni, Mickey G, which he was nice enough to share on Flickr.

This is a little video submitted by Danielle H. We thought it might speak to those who got to work on Parc-Ex!

A Great Personal Blog about Urbanism

I stumbled upon this blog last week, it has quite a nice take on Montreal.

A funny little piece in The Onion 

In the previous post I was doing a little promo for The Radiant City. Little did I know that it's actually going to be playing at Concordia!

Subway, Sprawl'n'Stuff

Sprawl
I just saw a great little Canadian piece on urban sprawl called The Radiant City. I encourage you to go and check it out at your local video store - that's where I found it, so I'm sure it's pretty available. Or just be lazy and watch the trailer for an "avant-gout"




Subway
'Tis not absolutely not the season, nor is there no specific reason of event to celebrate about subways, but gee do I love underground public transit.
And I just discovered a comprehensive yet esthetically challenged website with a list of pictures of Art in the Metros around the world (and yes, you'll find Montreal in it)
Here again, a couple of "avant-gout" pictures and the link here (for those by now who didn't get "avant-gout"by now, it's pretty much "before-taste")
