City Beautiful

We're into college application season, and I wanted to remind those considering city planning to watch my livestream from last year. I discuss the pros and cons of planning degrees! Should I do this again this year?

Viewer survey time! Hi everyone, every year in the fall I do a survey of viewers to find out what people want to see in upcoming videos. It also helps me understand the impact of the channel. If you have a minute (it only takes that long), please fill out the survey: forms.gle/9bMh1nWqo3gJ9Z456

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!

It's the end of 2024, and the end of seven years of City Beautiful! I couldn't have done it without all of the amazing encouragement from viewers over all of those years and all those videos.

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/

If you'd like to support City Beautiful and Nebula directly, you can do so by signing up here: go.nebula.tv/citybeautiful

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
