Notes on Urban Design
Rome is an exceptional laboratory for the study of urban design. Walk the streets and piazzas with the Layers of Rome app to learn how ancient construction shaped modern urban form. The Navigator Map directs you to 12 sites that are among the most remarkable examples of layering in central Rome’s Campus Martius—a district continuously inhabited, modified and reused for over 2000 years.

The word katakana means "fragmentary kana", as the katakana characters are derived from components or fragments of more complex kanji. With one or two minor exceptions, each syllable (strictly mora) in the Japanese language is represented by one character or kana in each system. Each kana represents either a vowel such as "a" (katakana ア); a consonant followed by a vowel such as "ka" (katakana カ); or "n" (katakana ン), a nasal sonorant which, depending on the context, sounds either like English m, n or ng ([ŋ]) or like the nasal vowels of Portuguese or Galician.
