I just started reading Jane Jacobs' classic The Death and Life of Great American Cities which turns urban planning into great literature, and it looks like this comic collection is going to be the perfect follow-up. (If they can just publish before I'm done, I'm on chapter 6 of Jane's book...) ~ eP

The project sounds very cool:

Can we tell the story of city crowds through comics? Crowds are central to cities. The commuting crowd, the Saturday night crowd, the protesting crowd, the festival crowd, the sports crowd, even the online crowd. There are crowded markets and overcrowded homes, crowded subways, squares, and parks. The different crowds of the city generate all kinds of experiences. People might find one crowd exciting or fun, or another overwhelming, exhausting, or claustrophobic. What stories might we tell of crowds in the city?  

Here are some of the creators involved:
