What are the best urbanism blogs on Tumblr?

I can hardly believe it’s been over a year since I published this post featuring ten of the best urbanism tumblogs. I think it’s time for a follow-up!

I’m keen to highlight ten more awesome urbanism tumblogs and share them with our 170,000 Tumblr followers as well as the readers of thisbigcity.net. I’ve got a few ideas in mind, but I would love your input!

Please let me know which urbanism tumblogs you love (and heck, if you feel like a bit of self-promotion then stick your own name in there!) and I’ll check out your suggestions before putting together my shortlist. 

Thanks!

“As an Indonesian, I tend to think that most of my government agencies perform terribly when it comes to serving the public. And it is one of the main objectives of Indonesia’s president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, to conduct bureaucratic reform in his now two terms in power. Thanks to the internet, that shake-up is happening right now.”

“Each story, each vision, and each motivation for wanting to host the Olympic Games is different, but the real victors are the host cities that decide on the legacy they want from the outset, and are reasonable in their expectations of the benefits the event could bring. In those cities, Day 18 onwards comes as no surprise.”

Rashiq Fataar on being a successful Olympic City.
