Nick Fury’s work investigates the ways urban transit systems reflect the identity and character of the cities they serve. Through firsthand experiences navigating both Chicago and Tokyo, he contrasts two vastly different approaches to public infrastructure. Chicago’s system—raw, imperfect, and pulsing with third rail sparks—embodies the city’s soul: resilient, diverse, and unapologetically unpolished. In contrast, Tokyo’s transit operates with near-surgical precision, reflecting a culture rooted in innovation, efficiency, and collective harmony. By studying these systems, Fury reveals how transportation is more than movement—it's a visual and experiential language that tells the deeper story of a city’s values and rhythms.
