RedScare Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Instead, plans discuss and advance a set of what appear to be measures of city health that are clearly more faddish than practical. I am willing to bet that this article, if anyone reads it at all, will be thoroughly dissed on this forum, where all of the urbanistas speak of faddish ideas and dis Houston for not employing more faddish rules. I look forward to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

august948 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 City planning is largely bloviating by professionals for money and amateurs for fun. Good work if you can get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arndthwrld82 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 I am willing to bet that this article, if anyone reads it at all, will be thoroughly dissed on this forum, where all of the urbanistas speak of faddish ideas and dis Houston for not employing more faddish rules. I look forward to it. Precisely why I posted this article, considering most everyone on this forum is an amateur city planner who subscribes to the arts district, walkable urban center, mixed use, diverse, rail, "insert other trend here", etc... definition of city success. Never mind all of that pesky economic and free choice nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
