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.
