Ascent Stage: Lessons from unmaking urban mistakes
july 2010 by Urbanscale
A nuanced, passionate, comprehensively-researched, fairly incredible piece on urban roadway remediation and systemic flow from John Tolva. Frankly, I'm still absorbing the full richness of it, but even a third of the way through I can tell you this is kind of a jackpot link.

Ow, all that smartness smarts. It's amazing how the selfsame rhetoric of urban computing I use to argue for more citizen control is deployed here to support more top-down surveillance and management (and more contracts for IBM).

Via Anne Hong. I'd be interested to see just who gathered the data, and how, but Cheonggyecheon appears to be a smashing success at the levels of ecological restoration, temperature modulation and housing values. It's certainly a lovely experience as an urban glade.
