A city skyline is the iconic silhouette of a city's buildings, landmarks, and structures as viewed from a distance, especially during the evening or night when illuminated by artificial lights. It represents the architectural identity and urban landscape of a city, often showcasing its most prominent structures such as skyscrapers, monuments, and bridges. The arrangement and height of buildings within the skyline create a unique visual profile that distinguishes one city from another, making it a symbol of its cultural and economic significance. At night, the city skyline takes on a mesmerizing quality as the lights from buildings, streets, and vehicles illuminate the darkness, creating a breathtaking panorama. This illumination not only serves functional purposes such as providing visibility and safety but also adds an aesthetic dimension to the cityscape, turning it into a dazzling display of human ingenuity and creativity. The city skyline, with its twinkling lights and towering structures, often serves as a symbol of urban vitality, innovation, and the bustling energy of modern life. #snsct #snsdesginthinking #snsdesginthinkers #snsinsitution

Imagine a city where public spaces are vibrant, inviting, and filled with life. This is the vision of placemaking, a collaborative approach to urban planning that brings communities together to reimagine and rejuvenate their environments. Placemaking isn't just about changing the physical space; it's about creating a 'place' where people feel a deep connection and belonging. By involving local residents in the process, placemaking creates public spaces that are not only beautiful but also meaningful and reflective of the community's spirit. As more cities embrace this concept, we move closer to a future where every public space is a thriving hub of social activity and shared happiness. Swipe through to explore how placemaking is reshaping our urban landscapes and why it’s the heart of modern urban design.

Substack article from Southern Urbanism: "In the civic design world, New Urbanism is a modern term for an ancient concept: walkable blocks, housing and shopping in close proximity, and accessible public spaces. Bruzenskey sees New Urbanism as a hip-hop approach to real estate, mixing non-original ideas to come up with something new and innovative: 'Nipsey Hussle built storefronts the same way he made songs and beats: by using scraps and shreds of existing material and remixing them into thrilling new compositions. In many of the urban communities that gave birth to hip hop, from Los Angeles to New York to the American South, people are adapting this same approach to real estate: taking existing elements of the built environment and breathing new life into them.'" - Bruzenskey Bois Premium Property Trust #newurbanism #mixeduse #hiphop #realestateinvestment Photo credit - BP Miller (unsplash)

An example of utilizing the side of a building for creative use. Older structures get a bad rep for being bland and architecturally colorless. This doesn’t always have to be the case, as demonstrated w/ this mural on a 20-story building in Jersey City. There are many structures around cities in the US that could benefit from a bit of pop of color. Garnering local artists to take party in mural curation would also draw tons of positive attention — Not to mention allowing your building to stand out. 🌸 Besides, a little bit of color – and floral – never hurt anyone. Am I right? #UrbanPlanning #CreativeArchitecture #Urbanism

The "public realm" is the heart and soul of a city. It's where first impressions are formed, where prestigious addresses are made, and where real estate value is created. Urban designer Victor Dover beautifully outlines in this video how the spaces between buildings - the streets, squares, plazas, and parks - can truly make or break a city. 🏙️✨ As we delve into the world of Urban Planning, it's crucial to understand the importance of these public spaces. They have the power to attract people, drive investment, and ultimately shape the identity of a city. Let's work together to create vibrant, welcoming environments that inspire and uplift all who experience them. 🌳💫 Strive to design cities that not only function efficiently but also evoke a sense of pride and belonging in all who call them home. By focusing on the quality of our public realm, we can truly transform our urban landscapes for the better. 🌆🌟 #UrbanPlanning #CityDesign #PublicRealm #CityDevelopment #CommunityBuilding #InvestingInCities #UrbanRevitalization #SustainableCities #BuildingBetterCommunities Video Source: @DoverKohl
