For photos of beautiful, still-inhabited locales! It can be a quick snapshot of your local town, a breathtaking pro photo of a city, or a pic of some fascinating piece of modern life.

The only real rule is that it must be an actively inhabited/used location (ie not ruins or natural locales). Otherwise, go wild. Anything that you find beautiful or interesting!

These are Barcelona's superblocks, and they are really cool, actually.

They're walkable, mixed zoning spaces. The lack of cars means people are free to lounge and hang out in the community space in the middle, which does a lot for the alienation and loneliness modern people are increasingly feeling. Here (image) you can see people playing and being around each other. I think you can see some shops in the background, too.

I'm sure I would want to know a little bit more than I do, but I would love to live in one of these.

Here's a vox article about them.
