Hi everyone. This is a place to notice and celebrate stuff that cities do right. Here, you can post anything from your own photos of some interesting findings around the world to articles discussing future urbanism projects. I’ve compiled a list of some examples of the content I think fits in this community, and I’m open to your suggestions and ideas on how we can improve the ruleset going forward. **Urban Infrastructure** Bike lanes, pedestrian paths, green tram ways, and all other useful or innovative urban development *Examples:* [Amsterdam bike infrastructure](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMed1qceJ_Q), [Barcelona superblocks](https://www.barcelona.cat/pla-superilla-barcelona/en) or [Reykjavik heated sidewalks](https://www.handimania.com/places/in-iceland-people-dont-need-to-clear-of-the-snow-from-sidewalks.html) **Public Spaces** Unique chillout zones, interesting parks, unusual equipment at children's playgrounds or public space design in general *Examples:* [Stockholm metro](https://handluggageonly.co.uk/2018/05/22/8-of-the-best-metro-stations-to-find-stockholms-metro-art/), [Superkilen Park Copenhagen](https://www.dezeen.com/2012/10/24/superkilen-park-by-big-topotek1-and-superflex/), [Archimedes screw playground thing](https://www.richter-spielgeraete.de/en/playground-equipment/products/sand-and-water/water-play/520500-archimedes-screw-with-crank-open/) **City Lighting** Anything from streetlights or bollard lights to facade lighting setups that bring something unique to city nights *Examples:* [An article about lighting](https://www.architectmagazine.com/technology/lighting/imagining-the-future-of-the-city-at-night_o), [a random Pinterest board](https://ru.pinterest.com/teresh4uk/outdoor-city-light/) **Street Furniture** Unique or interesting outdoor furniture pieces found in public spaces, be they simply modern, beautiful, or unusually comfortable *Examples:* [Random related Pinterest board](https://www.pinterest.com/kerliiro/street-furniture/) **City Easter Eggs** Small or hidden details in the city, like tiny statues or architectural elements that might be easily missed *Examples:* [Pac-Man cutouts](https://screenrant.com/pacman-ghosts-stockholm-subway-easter-egg/), [Lemmings statues](https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/lemmings-statue) **Successful Accessibility Projects** Effective solutions for accessibility, such as sidewalk ramps, urban navigation totems, braille-annotated 3D representations of various POIs, tactile paths, etc. *Examples:* [Tactile Last Supper](https://i.imgur.com/7CkhuYd.jpg), [wayfinding totems](https://www.pinterest.com/aaarchitectesjb/totem-design/) **Architectural Details** Special elements in building design, be they part of historic architecture or something totally modern.
