Urban Planet is a daily roundup of blogs from around the world dealing specifically with urban environments. We’ll be on the lookout for websites outside the country that approach themes related to urban experiences and issues.
This week, New Yorkers marked the 11th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. To acknowledge this event and the loss of an iconic part of the New York skyline, Brian August launched an app that allows users to recreate the pre-2001 skyline by pointing their camera in the direction of the towers. Users can upload photos of their skyline and memories of the towers to 110stories.com. (Inhabitat)
