One to bookmark, this is a link index to a wealth of reading on the urban habitat: Urban Omnibus | 50 Ideas: The Omnibus is all about ideas. From the beginning, Urban Omnibus has been a showcase of good ideas for the future of cities, conceived in the public interest and tried and tested in the five boroughs of New York. So, we have decided to surface some of the ideas that have appeared on Urban Omnibus over the past two years and broadcast them around the city. And you never know… an idea relevant to one discipline (in this case, urbanity) can be a contagion for another… look for your own relativity.

10 Ideas for Improving New York's Public Spaces

Utterly fantastic. Want some great ideas where you live? Just ask everyone else who lives there, and then…

This summer the Institute for Urban Design asked New Yorkers to submit ideas for making the city’s public spaces “smarter, more beautiful and livable.” Some 500 responses later, the institute then asked designers from around the world to shape these raw ideas into concrete projects for the city.

Be sure you click through for the slide show of ideas.
