Lately I’ve been thinking and writing a lot about urbanism, and the benefits of living in a vibrant neighborhood, and that is clearly in small part due to my surrounds and the benefits I reap all around me.
Today I came across an article where the author took it a step further and drew up a map of how to improve his neighborhood so that it was more connected and accessible.

This is a great concept, and clearly on that translates to our city very well.
How would you improve your neighborhood to make it better?

I urge everyone to take some time to review this information and think about all the lives it symbolizes.
