Cutting Car Use at the Neighborhood Level

Getting people out of their cars is a common goal for many urban planners and even some developers. But the idea is not always so easy to achieve, especially in car-dependent places. Eight relatively new developments in Europe, however, offer insights into how small-scale projects can encourage alternate transportation options.

Noain City Hall by spanish architects Zon-e Arquitectos. The exposed structure and brise soleil let the plants grow on the facade cooling the building down during the summer, and letting light in during the winter. The combination of colors of the different plants looks great. (via ArchDaily)

Completely excellent

Cheonggyecheon River Project in Seoul

This stream used to be buried underneath the city of Seoul until it was uncovered and transformed into a lush green park as part of the Cheonggyecheon Restoration Project. Since 2003, the new park has been like a major life-force for the center of the city, helping reduce temperatures and bridging the gap between the north and south of the metropolis. The 5.6 km park is encouraging new activity and recreation and is even home to an array of new insects, fish and other wildlife.

Wunderland Kalkar in Germany

If you’re looking for a bit more excitement in your park, check out the Wunderland Kalkar in Germany — an abandoned nuclear plant that has been transformed into an amusement park. The plant was never actually in operation, so have no fear of radiation — but rather than tearing it down, they transformed it into a park that draws hundreds of thousands of people every year.

one of my friends is studying abroard in seoul for the summer. Hope she pays this daylighted river park a visit.

..now whenever I hear of someone traveling someplace, I always have some place or thing to tell them about. Another friend earlier was thinking of spending a semester in Australia, in Brisbane, and I proceeded to tell him all about the obscenely cool BRT (bus rapid transit) there. yay~ international studies/urban planning!
