Nineteen Eighty-Nine
In our latest issue of hindsight, we take a look at major events that transpired in 1989 and how they impacted the cities where they took place. This special, limited edition will take you from Beijing to Berlin, stopping in Toronto, Paris, and San Francisco on the way. We also include coverage of a sixth city, but you’ll just have to check out a copy to find out which one. Issue Four is now available for purchase and can also be found at our stockists.
Post Modern
In our third edition, we explore how postmodernism altered the landscape of our cities, beginning in the late 1970s. Issue Three includes viewpoints on New York, London, Pittsburgh (illustrated above), Philadelphia, Haverleij, and Winnipeg, along with a variety of articles on the lasting effects of the postmodern era. Contributing writers include Donald Luxton, Kevin King, Amanda Grochowich, and Stephen Markley, author of Ohio: A Novel. Order your copy on the purchase page or head to select stockists.
Fair City
Our second issue transports the reader back to world fairs and expos over the past seven decades across four continents. As we journey through Montréal, Vancouver (Expo 86 illustrated above), Brussels, Osaka, Brisbane, Milan, and Seattle, we question the long-term impact of these major events on their host cities and review how certain municipalities are preserving their legacy. Issue Two is available at select stockists and on the purchase page.
“World expos are, in fact, still occurring. We may regard them as an antiquated way to communicate and celebrate our different nations in the age of instant information, but there are so rarely opportunities to do just that on such a grand scale.”
Urban Scars
Our inaugural issue considers the value of infrastructure projects in a handful of cities across the world, including Vancouver, Seattle (depicted above), Toronto, New York, Chicago, Paris, and Sydney. We present both an historical and contemporary viewpoint on the topic of urban infrastructure and what it means for the future of our cities. Richly illustrated with rarely seen archival photographs, our first issue challenges the reader to reexamine what are often seen as urban scars. Issue One is now sold out, thank you for your support!
“Even something deemed an eyesore may be the best reminder of how we have historically chosen to build and move within our cities.”
