Chicago has been building most of its new public l Chicago has been building most of its new public libraries with affordable housing above. The library housing combos are modest-sized structures rather than enormous complexes and they're physically integrated into neighborhoods instead of isolated. Do you think there is an opportunity for this in your town/city? Photo credits: Michael Schwartz's Twitter #urbanism #urban #cities #capetown #housing #living #architecture #libraries

While in the heart of similar if not worse concerns, Mexico City experiments- creating room for more vibrant, safe & accessible public spaces #streetsforpeople #urbanactivism #urbanspaces #urbandesignlab #urbanplanningdesign #urbandesignarchitecture #urbanismos #urbanjournalism #mexicocityofficial #streetsforall
Milan is planning to transform 190 000 sqaure metr Milan is planning to transform 190 000 sqaure metres of railyards into new neighbourhoods Milan today is experiencing a new phase of development which is leading to crucial transformations in the built environment. The city's railway yards are currently being redeveloped into housing projects. One of 7 railway redevlopments in Milan, the Porta Romana Railway Hub development proposes a conversion of land - aimed at creating a vibrabt neighbourhood for young people. The Porta Romana terminal is located between the city centre and its surrounds which are undergoing urban regeneration. The site therefore is likely to benefit from its location relative to public and private investment.  The 190 000 square meters of the site will be redeveloped, with 100 000 square meters being used to develop a park and the remainder to be used in constructing the Olympic Village for the Winter Olympics 2026 - to be hosted in Milan-Cortina. After the hosting of the games, the Olympic Village will be transformed into student and social housing and will house 1000 occupants. This proposal is both bold and innovative in its vision to re-purpose and redevelop railway yards to create a mixed use and mutli-functional real estate development. Can South African Cities transform inner city areas in a similar way? How can inner city land use conversions support inclusonary housing developments? #urbanregeneration #sustainabledevelopment #inclusionaryhousing #railwayyardconversion #redvelopment #Milan Image Credits: Convivo
