In Tempe, Arizona, Culdesac is reimagining US cities for people, not cars – and inviting travellers to explore its plazas, paseos and Mediterranean-inspired design.

    Listened to Ryan Johnson talk about this, but still confused as to why it’s called Caldesac…the thing that completely lacks circuitry and connectivity.

      Culdesac is a word for a stretch of street that has no through way, a dead end. The only reason to drive into it is if you are going to one of the houses.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
