CITIES GLOBALLY UNITED / 19
Edition log
Dated changes to the research edition, newest first.
Ten more city dossiers
Added dossiers for Cape Town, Singapore, Seoul, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Vancouver, New York City, Bogotá, Melbourne, Paris, with 30 registry entries, 19 signals and 66 sources read on 2026-10-07. Plans are recorded as plans; there are no rankings.
Data and methods, accessibility and share previews
Added a page describing the open files, how entries are checked, how to cite them and how texts and images were prepared. Clickable targets were enlarged to the WCAG 2.2 minimum, and each language now has its own social preview card.
Assistant, sharper images, checked translations
Added the page “Ask the registry” (automatic search over this edition, with sources) and a helper that drafts an entry from the text of a city plan for human review. All large images were rebuilt with neural super-resolution for sharper detail. Translations in five languages were checked by independent back-translation and more than two hundred wording and meaning fixes were made.
Map and monthly letter
Added a map of the cities of this edition and an optional monthly letter with double opt-in and one-click unsubscribe. The privacy page now describes what is stored.
How we use AI, search and a page for cities
Added a page explaining how AI is used and what it does not do, site search, and a page for city offices and institutions on how to send an official plan or a correction.
RSS feed
Added an RSS feed of this edition log, so changes can be followed in a feed reader.
Five new city dossiers
Added dossiers for Dhaka, Almaty, Rotterdam, Nusantara and Lagos, with four new registry entries, five signals and checked sources.
