• La Presse quotes mayor Valérie Plante's arguments that, while Montréal is enjoying something of a boom, it should takje care to prepare for a slowdown, too.


• Karim Doumar at CityLab takes a look at Queens' new storm-resilient park, Hunters Point South Park.


• Guardian Cities takes a look at #weloveatl, the Atlanta Instagram hashtag that has gone hugely viral.


• VICE takes the city of Winnipeg to task for its sadly dispiriting election, where major issues are not being dealt with (among other things). In this, Winnipeg reminds me of Toronto.


• The Inter Press Service takes a look at how plans to rehouse the inhabitants of the shantytowns of Buenos Aires are progressing.
