Citybloggers, sometimes also called Metbloggers, are a phenomenon and always ensure an interesting read. In simple terms, citybloggers write about their life in their home city.
These blogs give very valuable insights into people’s thoughts, ideas and daily concerns - and of course here and there funny stories and great pictures.
The world’s largest network of cityblogs, or metroblogs, is metroblogging.com. Here, some 700 bloggers from more than 50 cities are blogging round the clock!
Cityblogs can be found nearly everywhere, for example in Berlin, Dresden, Zurich, Milano, New York, Paris and in many many other cities… Cityblogs are definitely interesting reads, especially when it comes to urbanism and how people deal with societal, cultural and identification issues of their home towns.
Just check them out and tell us about other interesting blogs!

I know this great website that shows casual photography (lomography) and social intervention into the city. It is a “city blog”. It’s a mix of texts, poetry and pictures of Brazilian urban reality.
Unfortunatelly, it is only in Portuguese language. Anyway, I’d like to share this particularly interesting post:

[it shows a picture of the developing countries’ urban contrast: A real estate ad for middle-class families, and in the background serious urbanization problems]
A little quote from this post: “Since urban spaces exist as we pass by them, everything still in it (buildings, signs, ads…) are born old. And the citizens keep tasting the expired drops of broken slogans while they destruct the city…”
