There is a really interesting article on Inhabit about Frasers Broadway. It is a highly sustainable development planned to be built in the middle of Sydney. Hopefully other major cities will follow suite, especially in the south-western US where urban sprawl has obliterated the natural environment.

MIT has created a site with a mock-up of a super compact car for use in a city. This is a really interesting concept! As you can see from the picture, the car is super compact when stacked and not too small when flattened out. A quote from MIT’s site
By placing stacks in urban spaces and key points of convergence, the vehicle allows the citizens the flexibility to combine mass transit effectively with individualized mobility.
This would certainly address a key problem associated with the use of mass transit.
A French company, Eiffage, has constructed the world’s tallest bridge, know as the Millau Viaduct. The pictures look absolutely amazing! I wonder how long it will be until someone tries to jump off of it (hopefully with a parachute!).
