YouTube channels:

  • donoteat - My first encounter with all this. Too long videos imo.
  • Stupid City - Shorter, cool videos.
  • The Armchair Urbanist
  • City Beautiful - Lib but okayish to lure libs I suppose.
  • Cheddar's playlist on urban desing
  • bigmoodenergy - Videos about the history of american transit. She’s done videos about streetcars, metros, and funicular trains so far and I believe she’s working on another in the series currently.
  • Unfinished London playlist - Some cool videos there.
  • Climate Town
  • Tom Scott's trains videos - He has a lot of cool train videos.
  • BicycleDutch - Cycling in the Netherlands and bike infrastructure in general.
  • Not just bikes - Somewhat similar channel to BicycleDutch but with a wider scope, focusing a bit more on urban planning in general. It offers the perspective of a Canadian who moved to the Netherlands (and stans it hard), and has some nice videos on their bike culture/infrastructure and how it didn’t just magically happen.

    Add "Palaces for the people". Great book about urbanism (I ignored the lib moments)
