National Geographic magazine has an issue on urban development. Seems to be a collectible. Here are some important articles I liked:
To build the cities of the future, we must get out of our cars. It has fantastic pictures by Andrew Moore and Robert Kunzig has done great by summarising the developments walk-friendly cities.
It refers to the emerald city planning guide by Calthorpe Associates. You can download it here.
The related articles also features one of my favourites: Want to visualize inequality? View cities from above. It features pictures by Johnny Miller. The Johnny Miller website is treasure trove of many such pictures.
The development of Tokyo is documented quite well.
The photos feature titled This man spends 8 hours every day commuting. He's not alone. is quite good. In my paper How cities Develop I have explored the commute as distance travelled in acceptable commute time. Those insights seem to be bearing out.
