Turn Here celebrates the uniqueness of urban places, as documented through locals by amateur video contributors.
It’s great to see people discovering that their neighborhood has a unique identity that they can be proud of, even if that identity is not nationally recognized.

A noble effort by the city of Love Lewisham to involve the community in identifying problems in the urban environment.
At this site, residents can easily post photos of issues along with descriptions and location info to be reviewed and addressed by the borough.
The reports are primarily of abuse problems (graffitti, junk left on streets), not design problems, but it’s an interesting way of getting the community involved nonetheless!

Granted it was designed before laptops were so prevalent, the Chicago O’Hare airport’s lack of outlets in seating areas forces people to make awkward adaptations.
At least the airport staff all know where the outlets are and can quickly point you to the nearest hallway. But in case they can’t, there’s always the Airport Power Wiki:
