192021

192021.org is a project of Richard Saul Wurman, founder of TED Conference. The objective is to analyse 19 cities with a population over 20 million people in the 21st century, and logically it is called "192021". Since the project is still at the nascent stage, there is not much information available yet. Although, future findings might be interesting.

Paris vs. NYC

Parisvsnyc is a blog that offers a friendly and original graphical comparison using clichés and stereotypes between the two amazing cities. I fell in love at first sight when discovering the different works. I absolutely wanted to share this "coup de coeur" with you.

(By the way do I need to mention that this post have been suggested by Farah R.? Well, yes maybe. Ok now you know the truth, I have to admit I have not been the lucky one who discovered it...)

Enjoy it anyway and don't forget to check the blog out.

Skateistan

Oliver Percovich is an Australian who brought "Skateistan" up to the streets of Kabul. It sounds weird but it is an amazing project.
Since 2007, skateboarding has taken off in the capital thanks to him, and the co-educational skateboarding school raised enough money to build first Afghanistan's skate park!
The aim of "Skateistan" is to give young people an escape from difficult everyday life in Kabul. This non-profit project has obviously attracted international support and it is now getting well known.

"When I got to Afghanistan people told me not to skate with girls because it might attract criticism, not to skate in the streets because it might be dangerous, not to skate with poor kids because they would steal my stuff. But none of that happened, I haven't had any problems with the kids at all". said Olivier Percovich, founder of the project

Please enjoy the video as much as I do.
