A couple of days ago I was soooo excited to see an article about urban agriculture in Japan, it's rare to see English language articles about urban agriculture in any other Asian countries besides Singapore and China....and Singapore is only recently.

-A fantastic announcement from LEED. There are 112 countries without a LEED certified project, the first project in a new LEED market will get free LEED certification!!!
-And to wrap up the day...here's Edmonton's answer to the Highline.
