[URBAN NOTE] Five city links: Montréal, Washington D.C., Detroit, Bangalore, Nazareth

[rfmcdonald]

• rue Sainte-Catherine Street in Montréal is set to have three years of heavy construction. The Toronto Star reports.


• Painting the brutalist structures of the Washington D.C. metro, as described and depicted by CityLab, sounds absurdly unaesthetic to me.


• The critical take of Vice on regressive taxation policies in Detroit that deprive people of homes is worth reading.


• Scroll.in suggests that bad planning has done terrible things to the Indian metropolis of Bangalore.


• Trump has had a decidedly negative effect on the Christians of the Palestinian city of Nazareth. Al-Monitor reports.
