This Big City is an award winning social media movement encouraging discussion about sustainable cities. We share urban trends, ideas, and analysis on our English and Chinese blogs, and through Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook to over 50,000 followers.

Founded in September 2009 by Joe Peach, This Big City’s blogs feature content from urbanism writers and organisations all over the world. Our English language blog is published from London, UK, and our Chinese language blog is run by both Joe Peach and Leonard Chien and published from Taipei, Taiwan.

In 2010 This Big City won the Best Blog Post category for The Truth About London’s Cycle Superhighways at the Sustainability Now Social Media Awards, and in 2011 won both Best Sustainability Blog and Built Environment Blogger of the Year at the Be2 Awards.
