Interesting to see Wroclaw here - I used to live there. The bus component of the mall is in the aerial photo dead center foreground, ticketing is on ground floor (basically the size of a large storefront in the mall) and concourse is basement level accessible from ticketing area only. There is also an ongrade connection if you go outside across the street to the main train station in town, so there are multimodal aspects as well.

Yep the Rockies World Series aspirations are mixed use.

Raleigh has an architectural history…Kamphoffer, Harmon etc. wee bit of Polymath park and kentuck knob in SW PA.

That looks a bit Frank Lloyd Wright(ish). Good stuff.

New complete street in Boston (Tremont Street):

From separated bike lanes, raised crosswalks, to bus islands, this is what Glenwood Ave should look like.

From a friend visiting, city hall in Madrid. Can we maybe try this for ours, since the original plan already got scaled back? It doesn’t have the height, so the shadows would be less.

I was blown away by Madrid when I visited. I had zero expectations and was happily surprised!
