The World Edition

The World Edition is a new online urban development magazine, intended to be a source for an in-depth look into the evolution of cities. Its aim is to promote a better understanding of cities and the ways in which they are changing.



For the magazine's first issue I contributed a piece on new residential developments underway on the Brooklyn/Queens side of the East River, speculating on what this might mean to the city years down the road (ignoring the effects of global warming, though readers in interested in that can read publisher and über-contributor Alexander H. Johnstone's cover story on coastal development). Where's Brendan Crain also submits a piece on Pittsburgh, a city I was impressed with on a short visit last year.
