Transit, cities & urban planning Videos Recommended on Hacker News (174)

Transit, cities & urban planning is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 174 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2009 and 2026 — 450 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.

Urbanism: public transit, trains, subways, high-speed rail, cycling infrastructure, Dutch road design, city planning, zoning, housing, road safety, hyperloop critiques, walkable cities.

Why HN keeps sending people here — on How Self-Driving Cars will Destroy Cities (and what to do about it): “It's long, but well worth an hour of your time.” — an HN commenter, 2024.
