Rosario Bridge over the Parana. Argentina

It's other of these amazing and hide bridges in the world. This is the Rosario Bridge. You can see here that it's is a espectacular structure of reinforced concrete and cables. These triangular form cables give a great aspect to this bridge I think. Hope you enjoy the photo like me. So beautiful!

Vasco da Gama Bridge

Portugal!!!


Vasco da Gama Bridge. Lisboa. Portugal

The "Vasco da Gama" Bridge is one of the longest bridges in the world. As you can see in the photo it's so large that you can not see the other end from this side of the river. I feel really good and proud because it's located in Portugal that is like my second country -My father is Portuguese -. It is over the Tajo river and its lenght is over 17 km. I think it is a great engineer construction and a successful for the humankind and their creative capacity. I hope some day I can enjoy crossing this bridge, and I will remember of this moment, sure. I hope you can do this too. Lisboa e uma grande e bela cidade. Boa Sorte a tudos voces!!

About Urban Planning




"For centuries, civilizations have attempted to plan cities in order to make them work better. Planners seek to organize a city so that it benefits all its inhabitants. They do things such as build housing, construct infrastructure like roads and plumbing, provide public services like electricity and garbage collection, coordinate commerce, provide recreational facilities such as parks, stadiums and museums, and facilitate transport."

"Planning is not a simple job suited for one department or group. More and more, the cooperation of a number of government departments, local organizations and private citizens is needed to make a city. Nevertheless, a coherent vision of what is necessary, what is good and what works is needed if cities are going to survive in the future. The “urban planners” job is to construct that vision, the >urban vision<."
