Cities obey the laws of living things

news.ycombinator.com Elena Kazamia 2025-09-29 23:31:01

Who would disagree with Dickens that London’s green spaces are the city’s “lungs?” A city is an animal that sleeps, although some never do, like New York City or Hong Kong. All cities are creatures of a sort. Some have multiple “faces” they present to the world, most have a “beating heart” where the action unfolds, and it is a rare city that lacks a dark “underbelly.” The analogy of city as living organism is so established, in fact, that it has crossed over into the realm of scientific inquiry

YIMBYs have been winning in some of the most productive cities on Earth. Legislative victories in California and the UK have made it easier — if still not easy — to build. The logic of pro-housing reforms is both straightforward and well-supported: Fewer regulatory barriers to building mean more houses, which leads to more affordable housing and, in turn, more people able to live in dense cities that offer all the benefits of urban life. City life makes workers smarter and more productive. Urban

‘Urban Legend’ Has ’90s Nostalgia and Folklore Frights Worth Revisiting

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-12-16 12:05:56

Scream arrived in 1996, revitalizing slasher movies and ushering in a rush of imitators—much like Halloween and Friday the 13th did during the genre’s first wave in the late 1970s and early ‘80s. Now we’re in a third wave, with Scream’s successful return and the recent releases of brand-new movies in the late ‘90s-early 2000s I Know What You Did Last Summer and Final Destination series. A few months ago, 1998’s Urban Legend—which spawned two sequels you’ve never heard of—was tapped with the res

news.ycombinator.com William Harrison 2025-12-24 09:13:20

“It’s not just the tailpipe y’all,” joked one Electrek commenter, alluding to the black discolorations on alloy wheels visible proof of a less infamous city pollutant: brake dust. For decades, exhaust emissions have been the focus of city-air cleaning initiatives, but a new wave of research indicates that the real story goes far beyond the muffler.

This is the lead story of the new issue of Works in Progress, Issue 19. Read the full issue, including stories on how to redraw cities and the secret history of inflation targeting, on our website. In the nineteenth century, the societies of Europe and North America were profoundly transformed by the vast railway networks they built.
