Guest Blogger: Urban Design Idea for Philly

Our guest blogger & reader Chris Brown is an urban planner in The Garden State. His fascination with urban structure inspired this post.

Plant, meet Lamp. A small pedestrian street in Eindoven received this illuminous makeover thanks to design firm, BYTR.

How great would this look on a side street in Philly? Who wouldn’t mind an extra three feet of walkable concrete without having to sacrifice the aesthetics of green plant life or a well lit curb.Talk about a win-win.
