This series of infographics and posts from Good looks at innovations within a variety of world cities that improve city organization and operation -- from traffic to energy production to water conservation.

The eight places explored in this series are:
Copenhagen, Denmark
Singapore
London
New York City
Richmond, Virginia
Chicago
Salt Lake City, Utah
Albuquerque, New Mexico
