• Or is it? Mumbai and Dubai go head-to-head in a race to build the world's tallest residential tower.
• A fairly in-depth look at architectural biomicry and its champions who "hope that their gold standard may eventually become simply standard - however quixotic that hope may now appear."

• Betsky responds to critics of his comments about Gehry's Ruvo Center in Las Vegas.
• Dublin's Glasnevin Cemetery has a new museum and heritage building "made of glass - and underground, which is particularly appropriate given what it aims to remind us of."

• Ouroussoff cheers Haiti's new direction in urban planning: it "could become a reliable blueprint not just for reconstruction, but also for solving many of the urban ills that have plagued the country for decades."
• McGuirk on our new urban age and "how cities became our greatest design challenge yet."
• A tool that can help is GIS technology: the challenge is getting architects on board - "We don't have time to make geodesign a back-burner issue."
• Ray C. Anderson (one of our faves) offers an eloquent essay about what he sees "as a shifting mind-set, a growing sense of ethics" that could (and should) lead us to "less stuff, more happiness."
• Abu Dhabi raises its profile with a new, towering skyline, "taller and slicker than the glass edifices of yesteryear."
• It should start thinking more about its green spaces, especially for its urban residents who are being "encouraged to walk more and to use cars less."
• Calys on the transformation of San Francisco's urban alleys into "quaint" and/or "hip" places.
