The Civic Impact | September/October 2023 Issue

Azure’s 300^th issue features architecture and urban developments around the world that make cities more livable

In this special edition, we look at the rich history of social housing in Vienna, exciting new commercial developments in Detroit, and how Naples has put art and architecture at the centre of its subway expansion. We also spend time in the gritty construction sites of Toronto’s most anticipated hybrid communities, including the Port Lands, The Well and Mirvish Village.
