New urbanism is the revival of our lost art of place-making, and promotes the creation and restoration of compact, walkable, mixed-use cities, towns, and neighborhoods, while providing solutions to global warming and peak oil.

“A new study reveals the full extent of globalization in our food supply. More than two-thirds of the crops that underpin national diets originally came from somewhere else — often far away.”

This article shows where crops have come from across the world and where they were origionally grown.
Through the use of interactive maps it shows you that potatoes have multiple primary regions of diversity such as Tropical South America, West Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia. The potatoes are grown in their countries of origin and then shipped sometimes half way around the world for production and consumption purposes. In no way is the article biased, it just shows you the history of the crop and where it came from origionally.

This is an amazing picture run of what Mexico City actually looks like. It shows how the people of the city are using every single space of land and how it is used residentially. Many of these people have built their houses up and over the mountains, down into the valleys, and wherever space is permitted. It's almost as if the city is rolling up and over the hills. It also shows the industrialized side of the the city. How they use and cultivate the land in order to maximize and expand where and when they need to.
