I posted this video nine years ago today! Little did I know that I'd still be doing this in 2026. Thanks to everyone who has watched one of my videos. I'm happy to say that I still love making the videos and I'm looking forward to this *tenth* year on YouTube. Let me know if you have any video suggestions for me in the comments!

Hi everyone! It's the time of year where I do my annual viewer survey and get your feedback. Please take two minutes (literally, it's short) to tell me about the channel's impact and share your ideas for future videos. Here's the link: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/KM5EU... (I added the random selfie of me because I hear image posts get circulated more widely).

We're into college application season, and I wanted to remind those considering city planning to watch my livestream from last year. I discuss the pros and cons of planning degrees! Should I do this again this year?

Viewer survey time! Hi everyone, every year in the fall I do a survey of viewers to find out what people want to see in upcoming videos. It also helps me understand the impact of the channel. If you have a minute (it only takes that long), please fill out the survey: https://forms.gle/9bMh1nWqo3gJ9Z456

TWO THINGS! FIRST: maybe you're watching the Paris Olympics and want to learn more about the city itself. This video has you covered. SECOND: I'm planning a little series of videos focusing on the history of major global cities. I've done Paris and Tokyo already, and Kyoto and Rome are coming soon. Which cities would you like to see get this treatment?

Getting hyped for the Olympics? Check out my take on how Olympic host cities should work. It's a 6-year-old video, but I still think it's a good idea!

I'm going to Japan! I'll be in Tokyo next week and I'll be posting some trip-related content on the channel's Instagram account (@citybeautifulyt). Follow me to follow along!

Also -- I hope you've all been enjoying Suburbs Spring. I'll be posting the last couple of suburbs videos coming up, so we'll also have a bit of Suburbs Summer. I hope everyone's been enjoying practical, and in some cases actionable, content about the 'burbs!

I hear you all like shapes! Last week I posted a video on circle cities, but did you know that I did a video about hexagon blocks? It's probably my favorite video of 2023, so go check it out.

My latest video is about creating your own small town. If you're interested in the topic of small towns, you might enjoy this vintage video from the channel!

It's the end of 2024, and the end of seven years of City Beautiful! I couldn't have done it without all of the amazing encouragement from viewers over all of those years and all those videos.
