	Urbis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Urbis is a museum, exhibition and conference centre in Manchester, UK.
		Urbis challenges ideas and concepts relating to the development of cities and highlights both environmental and social issues that must be considered in the future development of the urban environment.
		The area surrounding Urbis is also often used as a hang out place for subcultural teenagers such as emo kids, goths, and moshers.

	EducationGuardian.co.uk \| Special Reports \| Manchester's Urbis: Street wise
		Urbis is one lively attempt to involve a wider public in a global debate on why we live the way we do at the start of the 21st century and how we might be living in 10 or 20 years' time.
		At Urbis, City Wall, an expansive graphic display in the foyer showing the growth of Manchester over 200 years in just three minutes, is a lively way of revealing how cities can sprawl; but this is not a display to be studied at leisure.
		Urbis may yet evolve into a more reflective showcase of urban design; as yet, it is trying to get people interested by using every conjuring trick going.

		The Urbis look is similarly unique: it was established by one of New Zealand's top designers of corporate identity to stand alone in the marketplace as a distinctive personality and cannot be mistaken for any similar magazine from home or abroad.
		Urbis addresses the needs of an increasing range of discerning consumers who have expressed dissatisfaction with the broader-based content of many other magazines.
		Urbis is also unique in being distributed direct to 2500 architects and interior designers, ensuring that this increasingly influential publication is received and read by New Zealandï¿½s most influential specifiers.

	Urbis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Urbis, a new visitor centre in Manchester, has been built to get us thinking about how cities affect our lives and our identities.
		‘Urbis Square' hosts exhibits designed to look like ordinary street furniture — a bench, a group of payphones, a ticket machine, etc. The point of these is get visitors to think about how cities condition and control their behaviour.
		However, given that Urbis is intended as a departure from museums with ‘traditional' permanent collections, the researchers and designers should be congratulated on the breadth of original material they have managed to assemble and present.

	Urbis - A World of Cities
		Where Urbis differs from other d20 fantasy settings is not in the rules, but in the scope of the setting.
		There are plenty of things to do in the cities, from hunting monsters in the sewers, getting caught up in struggles between crime families, fighting for social justice for the downtrodden masses, to high-stakes games of dimplomacy and intrigues between the rich and powerful of the cities.
		On one hand, Urbis introduces some fairly novel concepts (such as the nexus towers) and also tries to rigorously examine the effects of these and of standard d20 magic on society, which in many cases produces a rather alien culture compared to either real-world societies or the "standard" fantasy worlds published for the d20 system.

	Urbis Releases Books Into the City (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Urbis will even be enlisting the help of Manchester's fl cab drivers and First Northwest trains to place books on public transport taking them on a journey beyond the city's boundaries ready to be discovered by curious travellers.
		The Conservatory Café at Urbis will be the one of the main 'crossing zones' for exchanging books, so people are being asked to bring in their books gathering dust on the shelf and let Urbis free them into the city for the rest of Manchester to enjoy.

	Digitizing the Forma Urbis Romae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Forma Urbis Romae, also called the Severan Marble Plan, is one of the key source documents of ancient Roman topography [Carettoni60].
		With the disintegration of the Roman Empire in the 5th century A.D., the Forma Urbis suffered the same fate as the rest of the city.
		In the case of the Forma Urbis, delineating appropriate use is not a significant concern; for Michelangelo's David, it is paramount.

	Urbis Developer's Journal
		Urbis has been reviewed by the good folks over at the Dragon's Landing Inn, and they have some very nice things to say about it on their podcast.
		Urbis, or at least the image I've formed from reading your material, is a world of a few entities (those who can utilize the Nexus towers and do practically anything within their reach) who do their best to farm commoners merely as a source of energy and perhaps occasionally worker drones.
		In Urbis, the situation is different - the magical power available to those who control cities built according to magical principles caused most rulers to create cities that are as large as possible, once the principles themselves were understood.

		The Forma Urbis Romae, also known as the Severan Marble Plan, is a giant marble map of ancient Rome.
		The fragments of the Forma Urbis present many clues to the would-be puzzle solver: the pattern of surface incisions, the 2D (and 3D) shapes of the border surfaces, the thickness and physical characteristics of the fragments, the direction of marble veining, matches to excavations in the modern city, and so on.
		Whether or not we succeed in solving the puzzle, one of the tangible results of this project will be a web-accessible relational database giving descriptions and bibliographic information about each fragment and including links to our 3D models and photographs.
