Barcelona, City Center, Spain.

Constructed in the early 20th century, Eixample is a district of the Spanish city of Barcelona known for the urban planning that divided the district into octagonal blocks. Influenced by a range of schools of architecture, Eixample was designed in a grid pattern with long streets, wide avenues, and rounded street corners.

Despite being in the center of a thriving European metropolis, the district provides improved living conditions for inhabitants including extensive sun light, improved ventilation, and more open green space for public use. And of course, the result from the grid-like structure is astounding from above.

You should be allowed to be a modern city dweller and still care about the environment.

Comme Des Enfants by Coeur De Pirate [Le Matos Andy Carmichael Remix]

J’adore Montreal’s Coeur De Pirate. This remix reminds me of Toronto’s Parallels. Angelic vocals over melodic synths. Pure 80’s inspired love.
