Urban issues: Institutions not being good neighbors in New York -- Calls for more skyscraper regulation (and not to list 20th century eyesores that undermine efforts to stop building tall in inappropriate places), and avoiding development frenzy in the UK. -- Recycling industrial spaces in Toronto. -- Urban plans for Montreal (en français). -- River Ranch a model of new urbanism. -- Pre-fab is the answer for the future. -- Sears had it right almost 100 years ago. The arts: Architect (and neighbors) are none too happy with plans for Sydney Opera House public space. -- A call for museums everywhere to rethink expansion plans (the British Museum bears the brunt for its "catastrophic white elephant called the Great Court…$145 million to build this monstrosity"). -- Good news for the Newseum. -- Redesign for Tampa museum. -- Tradition meets change for a Mexican architect. -- A Japanese architect devotes years to Gaudi…and more.
