Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 04/10/2025The edges of the superquadras all seem to have these auto oriented main streets. The one below is entirely lighting and electrical stores, with a nice bar at the end. I don't know if this reflects Costa's intent, but it is jarring! 110
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 04/10/2025Superquadra 308 was new to me but I believe is well known for its architecture and the Burle Marx garden, which was amazing. It's hard to imagine something like this being allowed in the US, sadly. 210
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 04/10/2025One of the superquadras I visited seemed to have a small municipal building, but all apparently have playgrounds and even schools or daycares within them. 110
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 04/10/2025I'm in Brazil for a little bit, and had a chance to visit some of the superquadra neighborhoods in Brasilia. The superquadra (or super blocks) were designed by Lucio Costa, the central planner for the city, and intended to be self-contained and integrated communities. 131
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 31/05/2025This would be considered a high rise apartment building on Lorain or Detroit in Cleveland. 140
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 28/04/2025Meanwhile, this just happened yesterday in Little Italy, one of Cleveland's most urban neighborhoods. reddit.com/r/Cleveland/... 110
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 24/03/2025Hungry and everything looks good. Good spot? Have to come back Wednesday-Friday or the weekend. 130
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 24/03/2025On the #10 bus headed to the beachland, gonna share some photos. Lots of these beauties 😢 260
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 25/02/2025It's good this site will have housing, but this site plan is awful. Thankfully it's in our TOD Zone and will need to develop a TDM plan (even though it gets many points for being affordable). www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-n... 140
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 12/02/2025Some cool shots from Huron earlier today. Big plans for this street. 060
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 30/01/2025I was invited to present to the Richland County Planning Commission on 15-minute cities and our work in Cleveland. Mansfield is neat and they just won a RAISE grant for their main street! 0200
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 01/12/2024Sunday focaccia with red onion, green onion, cherry peppers, and nduja. 1120
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 19/11/2024Why is it pieces like this always include these hypotheticals? If there is evidence Biden committed crimes in a state, he should be charged! 020
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 15/11/2024Some things are head scratchers, like when my light rail train stops randomly due to track timing(?). Others are just sad realities of industrial decline, sprawl and their consequences like the land uses immediately adjacent to the stations. 041
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 15/11/2024Every time I attend a planning conference I hear about cities trying to build light rail. Some struggling, some succeeding, but it still takes years. Decades. How lucky are we in Cleveland to already have one? 3352
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 12/11/2024The main street right off the rail line is rough. A 5-lane high speed boulevard with some unprotected bike lanes :( 000
Matt Moss @matthewmoss.net · 12/11/2024Charlotte looks like it has some good TOD, and the light rail (blue) line is nice to ride. The rail trail is really nice, heavily utilized too but could be better lit. 110
