Urban Omnibus is an online project of the Architectural League to
create a new kind of conversation about design and New York City. We
commission, gather and deliver the insights of journalists, architects, planners, designers, artists, activists, scholars and citizens.
The Omnibus features multi-media content to showcase design innovation,
critical analysis and local expertise across a broad range of topics
and locales, creating bridges between various communities of interest.
Urban Omnibus makes vivid the processes and possibilities shaping New
York. Our goal is to increase understanding of the city we have and
encourage ideas that can lead to a more inclusive, more sustainable,
more beautiful city that could be. Read more about Why Urban Omnibus? in a forum post by Rosalie Genevro, the League’s executive director, published when the site first launched.
We post a new feature each Wednesday, with posts to our forum throughout the week. You can also subscribe to our RSS feed, or follow us on Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter.
