Great read on the need to retrofit loneliness in car-oriented suburbia. Some good new references.

Yeah, rioting in the road or stroad just ain't the same...

Monte and Bernice see their real estate investments in their neighborhoods akin to farming. They revive abandoned buildings, plant seeds for local small business, and they want to teach you how to incrementally grow your neighborhood.

Did you miss Redesigning Cities for Public Health w Michael Murphy of MASS Design and Dr Dick Jackson? Check out the teaser!

Happy to be surrounded by urban design academics generously hosted by U.Miami as we plot to take over the world (or at least empower our students to!)

Tomorrow- Oct 19, 3pm ET. In-person at GT CoDesign auditorium or on Zoom: bit.ly/3Vf5ZC6

New French law requires solar panels over large parking lots! Not my first preference for how to retrofit them - or address climate change - but impressive GWs. archpaper.com/2022/11/new-fr…

I'm deeply honored to help Ukraine's teenage girls prepare to rebuild their cities and towns.

This is one of the most humane examples I’ve ever seen of Christopher Alexander’s Small Parking Lots pattern.

How many places in your community could use this treatment? Great job Jeff and Mayor Jim

I just backed Urban Form Atlas, Volume 1 on Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/13122…

A big week for interviews. Evan Dawson asked in-depth questions comparing changes in suburban retrofits from our 1st book to the 2nd: wxxinews.org/show/connectio…

Can't wait to hear Dan's insights on using design thinking to solve big problems with small scale housing, carfree design, and attention to microclimates. Video and podcast will be posted at Redesigning Cities.

Very proud to be included in this terrific book! Thank you @Tigranhass for assembling the stellar line-up of strong women urbanist scholars. Buy this book! @StemIsFem, RedesignCities,

I made this as a joke but the more I look at it -- this might make for a decent single issue as an art project, to make a statement about the development issues (equity, sustainability, ethical land-use, reduction of car dependency) that often get glossed over in mainstream news.
