This blog is about improving urban environments. I discuss ways that communities can achieve their revitalization goals using New Urbanism, Sustainability and Smart Growth principles. Additionally, I write about city living, real estate development, urban planning, neighborhood development and affordable housing. And while I’m still drawn to city skylines, I now know that it’s not what you see from the sky that matters, it’s what is happening on the ground.
