Every day, millions of people step right over manhole covers and pay them little attention. Don’t feel bad about this; they’re meant to be ignored. If these pieces of ubiquitous urban industrial design tripped you up, they wouldn’t be doing their job of hiding the city’s underground infrastructure.
The thing is, manhole covers are really, really cool. Especially London’s. The city, known for its Victorian-meets-industrial aesthetic, is full of cast iron hatches imprinted with delightful patterns. In the new Pentagram Paper Overlooked, graphic designer and Pentagramandnbsp;partner Marina Willer created a small survey of London’s covers, transforming the functional metal pieces into Day-Glo graphic design. The book offers a colorful tour through the city’s industrial history, as seen through manhole covers.

Green infrastructure is a cost-effective, resilient approach to managing wet weather impacts that provides many community benefits. While single-purpose gray stormwater infrastructure—conventional piped drainage and water treatment systems—is designed to move urban stormwater away from the built environment, green infrastructure reduces and treats stormwater at its source while delivering environmental, social, and economic benefits.andnbsp;
The USEPA helps explain this approach to stormwater management.
