TWO THINGS! FIRST: maybe you're watching the Paris Olympics and want to learn more about the city itself. This video has you covered. SECOND: I'm planning a little series of videos focusing on the history of major global cities. I've done Paris and Tokyo already, and Kyoto and Rome are coming soon. Which cities would you like to see get this treatment?

Getting hyped for the Olympics? Check out my take on how Olympic host cities should work. It's a 6-year-old video, but I still think it's a good idea!

I'm going to Japan! I'll be in Tokyo next week and I'll be posting some trip-related content on the channel's Instagram account (@citybeautifulyt). Follow me to follow along!

Also -- I hope you've all been enjoying Suburbs Spring. I'll be posting the last couple of suburbs videos coming up, so we'll also have a bit of Suburbs Summer. I hope everyone's been enjoying practical, and in some cases actionable, content about the 'burbs!

I hear you all like shapes! Last week I posted a video on circle cities, but did you know that I did a video about hexagon blocks? It's probably my favorite video of 2023, so go check it out.

My latest video is about creating your own small town. If you're interested in the topic of small towns, you might enjoy this vintage video from the channel!

In this time of Thanksgiving, I want to thank everyone for all of your support for this channel, even if it's just watching a video or two. For those of you who have supported this channel by signing up for the Nebula/Curiosity Stream bundle, I want to make sure you have all of the information as the bundle deal expires. Curiosity Stream has been sending out emails that are somewhat misleading, and re-subscribing through them could result in missing out on Nebula entirely. Here's more information: blog.nebula.tv/unbundle/

We're also offering lifetime Nebula memberships for a limited time! One-third of those subscription dollars go directly to my channel, and the rest go to supporting great Nebula programming: go.nebula.tv/lifetime

Hi everyone -- it's time for my annual viewer survey! It helps me understand the impact I'm making (useful for making my tenure case as a professor) and it helps me make videos that you actually want to watch. It takes only a few minutes. (I posted a selfie because I hear that this post will be circulated more widely with an image.) Here's a link to the survey: berkeley.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cGzBaUHVAZxfX3U

I recently posted a video about Jane Jacobs and Robert Moses where I asked the question--Is Jane Jacobs a NIMBY? If you're looking for more information on NIMBYs, check out this video on the topic.

I just posted a video about Townscaper, and if you liked that one, you may like this other gaming video of mine. It was the first video on my channel to hit 1,000,000 views!
