@BrentToderian and some of his associates have started the "Urban Truth Collective", an organisation dedicated to combatting lies about good urbanism:

Most of these lies are collateral damage from the fossil fuel industry's anti-climate change efforts. This is one way that urbanists are fighting back. More to come !

I was doing some research for a video and randomly came across this image from GM, which was on a page to promote the benefits of electric vehicles.

This image is obviously photoshopped, but look at this place. It's prime waterfront land, directly across the river from a city, and it's being shown as a featureless asphalt surface.

Even in their "optimistic" visions of the future, car companies' vision for cities is shit.
