Alleys of Seattle

ULI 2015

Posted in Uncategorized by seattlealleys on October 4, 2015

I am excited to be heading to San Francisco during the middle of my second to last semester at Harvard’s GSD to attend the Urban Land Institute’s Fall 2015 Conference.  I am still readjusting to life back in the United States after an incredible year based in Berlin exploring cities such as Hamburg, Stuttgart, Paris, Prague, Vienna, Brussels, Istanbul, Budapest, and Lyon.  Stay tuned for reports from San Francisco as well as some long overdue photos of alleys in the afore-mentioned cities.

I have re-branded the blog to be an extension of my practice’s site, freshly launched at danieltoole.com – take a look at some of the new work happening, particularly the first official alley design project coming in Miami Florida’s Design District – more updates on this soon.

Melbourne overview

Posted in Melbourne by seattlealleys on November 6, 2010

From the graffiti-lined AC/DC Lane, to the retaraunts of China Town, and the shopping streets of Degraves Lane, to the hangout of Centre Place, Melbourne was an incredible city of alleys and public space in general.  This type of urbanism is not attainable without prolific planning, policy, and organic development.  This network of alleys is a model city for any flatiron grid city seeking to re-invigorate their back-alleys and side streets.
