Across the world, street design that favors automobiles and ignores pedestrians and cyclists is being rethought—a newly updated resource created by the Brazilian urban design collective Urb-i allows you to chart just how widespread and profound the changes are.

First covered by Citylab last September, when it was an intriguing but still modest archive of street makeovers, Urb-i’s archive has since tripled in size and now contains over a thousand images. Perhaps best of all, the archive now comes with a map that allows you to search and zoom in on urban transformations across the planet.
