An in-depth analysis of the social cost of carbon, conducted during the competition phase, led the project team to propose an entirely new construction while remaining within budget. The existing school building lacked the capacity for sustainable transformation; its demolition would free up land and allow for a reimagined urban future.

This is a house for the designer himself and his family. The site is adjacent to a long-established community center on the north side, while the surrounding area is an old settlement where signs of gradual residential development and generational change can be seen.

He had just sold his fashion brand, Via Vai, after which he spent four years growing roses at his home in Uruguay. Born into a family of Syrian immigrants and with a Sephardic Jewish surname, those four years were enough to generate a new idea. On the one hand, he wanted to build a luxury residential project in that wasteland, and, on the other, he wanted to attract global talent.

Skeptics have suggested the universal preschool tax was driving high-income earners out of Multnomah County. The latest data doesn't support that notion.

The project will contain two matching 12-story office towers of 240,000 square feet each. The first tower is scheduled for completion in June. Phase 2 will consist of the second tower and a five-story garage for 1,600 cars.

Over 44 years in public office, Moses reshaped the city like no other government official had in the 20th century. When he came to the Bronx, his aim was driven solely by moving traffic - and he did not care how many lives he needed to upend, or neighborhoods to bulldoze, to make the traffic move.

Monterey Park residents describe their predominantly Asian and Hispanic city as peaceful and quiet, with a convenient location in the San Gabriel Valley near to downtown Los Angeles. The intense data center backlash is prompted by an Australian asset manager's proposed project, a 247,000-square-foot site for computer servers that would also include a new electrical substation and, to stave off power interruptions, around a dozen diesel generators.

Without committing to finishing the park, a mayoral approval of Monitor Point sends a clear message: the city will continue to collect on private development while deferring its public obligations.

Urban Renaissance, the real estate development group that partly owns the mall, has a vision for what comes after demolition. The group's Lloyd Center Central City Master Plan wipes the venerable mall from the map in favor of development that will be familiar to most Portlanders: an intersecting street grid with green space and mixed-used architecture.

No one will ever mistake this for a tilt-up building in an industrial park. This is the Mormon temple being built adjacent to Interstate 5 on San Diego's affluent northern edge. After all, how many San Diego buildings have a multiterraced design, 190-foot twin spires and a 14-foot-tall gold leaf statue of the angel Moroni atop one of the spires facing eastward and blowing his prophetic trumpet? Try none.

Often, these buildings were insensitive to their contexts and had little to offer their users in the way of interesting forms and spaces or solid craftsmanship. This trend was especially apparent among small retailing projects that met the growing demand for services in both residential and commercial neighborhoods. From Chula Vista to Oceanside, San Diego to El Cajon, cheap-looking, peach-colored pseudo-Mediterranean strip centers became the norm.

It was one of four skate parks being created or revamped as part of a city initiative, and the only one that proposed building an entirely new space rather than replacing an existing skate park or asphalt rink. Intended as the city's flagship, it was also by far the largest, in the city and regionally, tied with the Lynch Family Skatepark in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which is the largest skate park on the East Coast.

Over the past century, the fabled property in the 7200 block was home to the Ralphs supermarket founder; the wealthy scion of the Cudahy meatpacking family; and producer Joseph M. Schenk and his then-wife, actress Norma Talmadge. Before that, in 1904, it was reputedly owned by Hollywood's first official mayor, George Dunlop.

Located just upstream from where the Arroyo Seco and Los Angeles River merge, Mount Washington has been home base to a former mayor, a world-famous yogi and the official witch of Los Angeles County. The Arroyo Seco - which, after all, begins near a place called Devil's' Gate - has always been a location known for the offbeat, a neighborhood that was keeping it weird before Portland, Ore., or Austin, Texas, ever was.

Last time the two met, Trump asked him to return with ideas to build big things. Mamdani came back with a massive housing proposal. Mamdani's team created mock headlines to show Trump how such a project would be received. He was very enthusiastic.
