Micro-urbanism
The tiny streets, blocks & houses of ‘Paddinghurst’ in inner city Sydney, breaking all those rules…
- big trees in little streets
- tiny lots (under 100m2)
- overhanging balconies
- guérilla gardening
- bins, pots, bikes all out
Oh… & no cars

Wrongly think height a heritage issue, contentedly deforming forms, meritless, squashing design..

I promise this map is more impressive than it first appears. It ranks cities by how impressive their mountain backdrop is. The top comment in the link explains the methodology. I love this one. Such a smart idea! Source: buff.ly/3MNumTJ
