Bloomberg CityLab

CityLab began its journey in September 2011 under the name The Atlantic Cities, co-founded by Richard Florida, an expert in urban studies and a professor. This independent platform is dedicated to discussing and clarifying "the most creative ideas and critical challenges that today’s cities and neighborhoods face." In 2014, it was rebranded to CityLab.com. The site focuses on various topics including transportation, the environment, social equity, lifestyle, and design. It features tools like Navigator, which serves as a resource for urban living, and Solutions, which addresses challenges across a range of subjects. In 2015, CityLab partnered with Univision to create CityLab Latino, which offers original journalism in Spanish along with translated articles from the English version of CityLab.com. The last update for this section was in 2018. In December 2019, Atlantic Media sold CityLab to Bloomberg Media, which resulted in significant layoffs, affecting half of the staff.
