Not Just Bikes

Asphalt is a great material for building roads. But when it comes to streets, there's something better: klinkers!

Bergen is a city on the West coast fjords of Norway, surrounded by mountains. And they just built the best bicycle tunnel in the world.

North American suburbs are littered with these giant ugly "Big Box" stores. People like them because they're easy to drive to and they sell a lot of stuff at pretty cheap prices, but the way they operate is by literally bankrupting cities.

There are a lot of problems with today's cities, so some people claim we should just build new cities instead. But South Korea has shown that building a brand-new city doesn't always go as planned.

In the city of Suwon, South Korea is the world headquarters of Samsung, called Samsung Digital City. A high-security campus built just for Samsung employees.

Trams are the absolute best transportation for cities, and yet the Toronto streetcars are borderline unusable. Why are they so bad, and will they ever get better?

When it comes to great urbanism, there's no excuse lazier than "the weather" ????

American SUVs and light trucks are dangerous. We cannot allow them to come to Europe.

Gornergrat is has the highest hotel in Switzerland, and it's only accessible by train. This video is about our visit, and the trains we took to get there ... including a night train!
