Last Friday, Brooklyn Public Library officially broke ground on a brand-new Canarsie branch on Rockaway Parkway and the newly released renderings are a masterclass in good library architecture. The two-story, 11,000-square-foot building will double the existing library's public space and stand out as one of New York City's first public buildings constructed with mass timber, a sustainable, low-carbon approach that also happens to look gorgeous.

The Dalmia-Gopichand Badminton Academy, or The Shuttle, is a testament to the potential of architecture to create opportunities for sports in the built environment. This, in turn, fosters the spirit of sportsmanship and community, thereby demonstrating how architecture can amplify the cultural and economic significance of sports. This project is imagined to exemplify the role of architecture in shaping a city's identity and aspirations.

A few weeks ago, a notice quietly appeared on the Scottish Register of Tartans authorising a train company to commission its very own tartan design - the corporate equivalent of being knighted, but in wool. The company in question is low-cost train operator Lumo, which can now officially claim to be the proud owner of an officially official tartan. The design was first shown off last month when Lumo launched its Glasgow-London services,

A lot of community engagement, a lot of planning, went into those projects. ... Unless there's any fatal flaws, we should get them back on the board as quickly as we can. That's certainly one early priority. Clearly, fast and free buses is going to be a priority. We know DOT has had capacity challenges. We need to staff up.

Right now is an opportunity for me to introduce myself as I am, and the focus of what my administration will be.

Simply put, the fundamental problem is that when the sector or its individual institutions draw public criticism, we are unable either to make quick changes in response, to explain compellingly why we should not do so, or to redirect public attention effectively toward the overall value and purpose of our work.

In the post‑pandemic news cycle, it became easy to treat charts as a kind of journalistic spell: visualize the data and legitimacy will follow. But the flood of partisan "stat dumps" has trained plenty of people to see numbers as just another weapon in a never-ending culture war. In 2026, the task for data journalism is not to make more extravagant visualizations, but to rebuild data as a shared language between people who no longer trust one another.

Our city is built on many strengths-excellent schools, beautiful green spaces, and a charming downtown-but the heart of Saratoga has always been its neighborhoods. As I begin my third term as mayor, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve this community, and I am continually reminded that Saratoga's true character reveals itself at the neighborhood level. What makes Saratoga special are the relationships between its residents.

"Innovation means having courage, the courage to look ahead and believe in the future. Innovation is vision, it is growth and faith in young people. Milan's future begins here. In the Youth Sector," he began. "Where dreams become goals, and talent meets responsibility, in every training session and in every sacrifice you make.

Every table inside and out of the shoebox-sized coffee shop is filled, the line is five-deep and the slim corridor that runs along the coffee bar's counter has a dozen more people hugging the wall, patiently waiting for their coffees to be ready. "Matcha latte for Brett?" the barista asks. "Brett" appears and grabs his cup.

For him, sustainability is not an ethical question, but a business driver. A self-described "demon for cutting down on food waste" at home, Picton is senior vice-president of environment, social and governance (ESG) and sustainability at EcoOnline, a company that develops software tools to help organisations protect workers, meet environmental regulations, and embed sustainable practices.

The answer appeared as an extension of Richard Gamble Memorial Park. This space is small, heavily used, and bisected by a train. Located at the heart of a small and bustling neighborhood, it was clear it could benefit from a little added breathing room. The Pop-up Town Square aims to provide just that. Modernizing Richard Gamble Memorial Park is critical, and the addition of a town square would provide flexible space for the community, and an added impetus to invest in the park.
