Chinese Cooking Demystified is one of my fave food media folks, but in this post they also have #urbanism related content. Tired of all the glossy drone videos showing Chinese cities as a dystopian neon future, their post shows the different realities of life in Chinese cities

PhD Fellowship in Urban Morphology, Accessibility and Mobility Cultures

A PhD where I really think someone with disabilities that affect their mobility should apply. Unfortunately, bullshit like "ability to...handle a heavy workload" means it'll probably be abled urbanists doing things disabled people should be doing.

As a native of NYC during the bad old days, I well understand that our social experiments with public housing in the US have ended almost entirely in disaster, and that is precisely because those developments were built with efficiency as the only goal, not human dignity and community.

This does not mean we should not build apartment buildings, it means we need to build apartment buildings with human dignity and community as our foremost concerns. #urbanism #architecture #design #housing

#Cities are cities precisely because—demonstrably—more people want to live in urban environments than those who abhor the idea altogether, for all the advantages that cities have to offer.

Only in America and other places where land and fossil fuels have been historically cheap and abundant, have people developed the idea of #suburbia and glorify and idealize #ruralism supported by private motor vehicles.

Many people in the tiny house community wanted tiny houses to be the answer for everything, but I am here to tell you that tiny houses are a generally terrible idea that really is only suitable for certain types of people in certain extenuating circumstances.

Tiny houses, especially those on wheels, have very few advantages and very many disadvantages, compared with good #urbanism that allows people to live in dignity with humanscaled spaces and fixtures.

However, there will always be some…

In the war against public spending, infrastructure, services, and supports, we are ALL the "undesirables".
