Preface: The origin of this Blog was an architecture school seminar; Social Aspect of Urban Form, NYC. Which examined New York City’ settlement patterns, spatial intricacies and vibrant public spaces to assess the influence of the built environment on behavioral activity and social engagement in the urban realm. From this point I have aimed to broaden the scope to document and survey other metropolitan regions and urban dynamics.
