this website describes WAV, a sustainable artist community in Ventura, California that provides affordable housing and incentives for artists to promote their work.
A fantastic chase scene set in Moscow (from the Bourne Supremacy) that I believe is not only realistic, but really shows the dynamics, infrastructure, and layout of the city.
We have all seen IBM's new computer that played Jeopardy against us humans and won! Well now they have designed a game with really urban issues and want us, the people to play the game to develop new ways to deal with urban issues. Its like turning the world into a giant think tank.
(Companies should pay us (college students) for our ideas and solutions, we come up with some pretty awesome stuff)
