Copenhagen Capacity Cathedrals A cathedral is the home church of a bishop. "Cathedral" is a functional rather than an architectural term and derives from the bishop's cathedra, or seat, that is located there. Our list of cathedrals includes Catholic, Orthodox and Episcopalian cathedrals that are true cathedrals (the seats of bishops) as well as some former cathedrals still commonly called by that name. See our Church Glossary for definitions of terms used to describe cathedral architecture. Below is an illustrated index of the 159 Cathedrals profiled on Sacred Destinations so far.

The New Cities of the Web When I visit Toronto to spend time with my client partner, I see a very specific city. I see the downtown, right under the CN tower (that nifty needle in the picture above). I see a steakhouse called Earl’s. My “where” is quite different than yours. The New Cities of the Web Companies will have a really difficult time customizing the universe to our needs and interests.

Our Miami German autobahns A German autobahn sign A map of the German autobahn network The Autobahn (German: Autobahn, plural Autobahnen) is the federal controlled-access highway system in Germany. The official German term is Bundesautobahn (plural Bundesautobahnen, abbreviated BAB), which translates as "federal motorway". German autobahns have no federally mandated blanket speed limit,[1]—although limits are posted (and enforced) in areas that are urbanized, substandard, accident-prone, or under construction. Germany's autobahn network has a total length of about 12,845 kilometres (7,982 mi) in 2012,[7] which ranks it among the most dense and longest systems in the world. Names[edit] Only federally built controlled-access highways with certain construction standards including at least two lanes per direction are called "Bundesautobahn". Construction[edit] A typical route-number sign Pattern of autobahns 10 to 999 The current autobahn numbering system in use in Germany was introduced in 1974. History[edit]
How Seven US Cities Designed Surprisingly Great Websites The US government has been shut down for over a week, as have plenty of federally funded websites, which makes me appreciate a good civic website even more. I was able to find seven city sites that will make you feel good about government again. Maybe. What you probably think about municipal websites still likely holds true, however, which is that, for the most part: THEY ARE NOT VERY GOOD. To examine the issues at hand, let’s take the website of Fayetteville, North Carolina, a city we chose completely at random: I don’t mean to pick on Fayetteville in any way. Please enable JavaScript to watch this video. For the past 10 years, even the U.S.’s most design-savvy metropolis, New York City, was stuck in a sorry small-column purgatory that didn’t match the rest of its well-branded civic endeavours. But they’ve just launched a massive redesign of NYC.gov, which is a signal of a larger nationwide shift, says Michal Pasternak, who led the redesign at the firm HUGE. New York City | nyc.gov
