City planner in Cleveland, Ohio.
The edges of the superquadras all seem to have these auto oriented main streets. The one below is entirely lighting and electrical stores, with a nice bar at the end. I don't know if this reflects Costa's intent, but it is jarring!

Superquadra 308 was new to me but I believe is well known for its architecture and the Burle Marx garden, which was amazing. It's hard to imagine something like this being allowed in the US, sadly.

One of the superquadras I visited seemed to have a small municipal building, but all apparently have playgrounds and even schools or daycares within them.

I'm in Brazil for a little bit, and had a chance to visit some of the superquadra neighborhoods in Brasilia.

The superquadra (or super blocks) were designed by Lucio Costa, the central planner for the city, and intended to be self-contained and integrated communities.

Thinking about this street I saw in Bilbao two years ago.

This would be considered a high rise apartment building on Lorain or Detroit in Cleveland.

Meanwhile, this just happened yesterday in Little Italy, one of Cleveland's most urban neighborhoods.

It's good this site will have housing, but this site plan is awful. Thankfully it's in our TOD Zone and will need to develop a TDM plan (even though it gets many points for being affordable).

Some cool shots from Huron earlier today. Big plans for this street.

I was invited to present to the Richland County Planning Commission on 15-minute cities and our work in Cleveland. Mansfield is neat and they just won a RAISE grant for their main street!

Why is it pieces like this always include these hypotheticals? If there is evidence Biden committed crimes in a state, he should be charged!
