Why do some cities just feel more interesting?
It's not only because of architecture — it's also details like benches, bus stops, signs, and lighting.
So here's a brief introduction to "street furniture", one of the most underrated parts of urban design...
Can anyone shed light on the ‘parishes’ that are used to describe PEI geography in some of the mapping apps?

The comfortably housed sometimes need to be reminded that they’re still comfortably housed when new housing is being built for others to become comfortably housed.
I have this image in my mind of the western end of PEI tipping into the sea from the weight of all the Islanders heading that way to view the eclipse…
Very exciting news for @StratfordPEI !
🏠 We’re working with @StratfordPEI to help remove barriers to housing.
Funding will help fast-track the creation of thousands more homes in the years to come.
Congratulations to the Town of Cornwall!
The federal government and the Town of Cornwall have reached an agreement that will fast-track more than 140 homes in the municipality over the next three years.

This is not a duplex. It’s a 4plex. Mid block and all connected. Structure is essentially a square with 4 garage units detached off the lane. This fits in every community every where! #gentledensity #missingmiddle

It's that time of year again-we are calling for nominations for individuals, groups, & organizations for our Pinchuk Community Builder award for having made their #PEI community a better place today and for the future, in a way touching on either the built or natural environment.

All feedback received helps inform the project and Town overall. Thank you Stratford!
Nugget in today’s CBC article about the housing/grocery news: “Liberals also will now require municipalities to repeal or amend exclusionary zoning policies in order to access the government's housing accelerator fund.”
Not sure specifics, but exclusionary zoning is typically single use (think traditional R1 - single detached dwellings only - in PEI municipalities). We may start to see an accelerated shift, although many municipalities are already starting to have this conversation.
