Urbanism is the study of how inhabitants of urban areas, such as towns and cities, interact with the built environment. Wikipedia

Welcome to /c/Urbanism, a place to discuss modern theories about towns and cities. Concepts here can include (but are not limited to) green spaces, transit, walkability, city finances, anything related to increasing wellbeing in urban spaces.

While we tend to think of "Cities" as urban, it also includes our towns and suburbs.

Want to learn more? Here are a few places to get started:

"Sister" communities:

!citylife@beehaw.org - On beehaw, which is unfortunately defederated from most instances
!fuckcars@lemmy.world - Good content specifically about not driving, but here we will strive to include all modes of transit

This is a space to explore and share ideas about how we shape the towns and cities we live in. Here we'll be making a place where we can openly discuss urban planning for not only large cities but also our small towns - including but not limited to transit, green spaces, walkability, traffic, and anything related to living in an urban environment.

Many of you already know me, I'm Scrubbles, passionate about Urbanism and excited to see what we can do with this community.

I welcome all posts about Urbanism - videos about it, articles, open questions, whatever you may like!

Minor housekeeping, rules will come as they are needed, my big two are "Don't be a dick" - meaning discussion is welcome and arguments are fine, but I don't tolerate personal attacks, and keep posts on target. Obviously these will evolve with the community.

Hopefully this will be my only "announcement" style post, but felt like we should kick it off somewhere. Welcome!

It's always worth asking for a bike rack! (lemmy.ca)

This store just opened up a few months back, and they had zero bike parking.

I emailed their head office, saying that I was planning to shop there, but not until they added a bike rack.

Went to check last night, and boom! Bike rack!
