The Urban Intersection (TUI)

TUI is essentially about observing & referencing how various urban technologies develop and expand through the years. (This blog is semi-dormant at times.)

It's also about exploring and comparing urban science & fiction throughout the world & beyond. http://www.technovelgy.com

An urban technology_center can become quite a big draw for all kinds of people and technologies.
