Hey folks,

As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm starting an urbanism newsletter with links to content from around the world to inspire local change. It's a bit of self promotion but I think it's quite relevant to the community here.

If you have any articles (especially outside the US/Euro realm) you think are worth sharing please let me know! Also, would love if there are any short story fiction writings that you can recommend that are related.

Thanks!

What are your favorite (non-US/Euro) urbanism news sources? Starting a newsletter. (lemmy.ml)

Hi everyone,

I'm starting an urbanism newsletter. tl;dr: Once a week roundup of urbanism news from around the world to help spread great ideas and inspire local change. You can see the longer version in the first post.

A big part of the purpose is making these ideas accessible to people who don't want to deal with the endless social media but would want a short update each week.

Anyway, I'm looking for sources about urbanism related news. We have more than enough US/Euro content but want to include things from other parts of the world in every issue. Do you have any favorite outlets or writers who are covering related topics in your area?
