Wonders and Wickedness, Part II

In my previous post I linked to 15 different articles from The Guardian's (http://www.theguardian.com/us) wonderful series on cities. What I hadn't realized is they've done more amazing articles. A lot more.

A LOT.

So here are links to twenty-one more articles.

Twenty-one?!?

Wow.

The subjects range from Hitler (!) to city planning, from conspiracies to art history. We travel from Europe to Australia to India to Arizona. And of course, there are discussions of visionaries like Jane Jacobs, Robert Moses, Lee Kwan Yew, and Luud Schimmelpennink (he's in the article on Amsterdam).
