What is CityBits?

CityBits is a lighthearted look at how cities around the world are making life better for their residents. Through history, contemporary analysis, and memes we can understand why some urban solutions are better than others, and what other cities can learn from them. Sometimes I’ll use a specific case study from a city, while other times I’ll just talk broadly about urban planning/design concepts that I think enhance our understanding of how cities actually work.

I love cities, and I write about the things they do well, and sometimes not so well. I also make a lot of memes.
