Benfield of the Natural Resources Defense Council offers a fine selection of bike-themed holiday decorations.
Staying with
Benfield, he also offers a tour of Christmas in major cities around the world. I’m particularly enthralled by the photo of
Rostock, Germany, a brightly-lighted holiday village with the vision of a dour
January looking over its shoulder.
Daniel Nairn
of Discovering Urbanism writes about how good public places draw people out-of-doors despite the
weather.
Thoughts on
Architecture and Urbanism offers examples of how holiday lighting can enhance the architecture
of good urbanist places.
And here in
the North Bay, a long-time enlivener of urban spaces in San Francisco and Santa
Rosa shows off his holiday spirit along the
Russian River in Guerneville.
May the urbanist
holiday spirit linger in your hearts and souls for as long as possible.
