First and Foremost

Your inbox is flooded, your time is limited. But I’m hoping that you feel like I do: We could use a new space to engage in a conversation about cities. My goal is to connect with other people who are professionally engaged in city-making, as well as the serious urban enthusiasts among us, and have (pretty nerdy) fun through timely discussions about cities around the world. What you’ll get reading this newsletter: Posts that dissect media about cities. Do you read op-eds, articles, and social media on topics from ADUs to nature-based solutions and want to talk about what the reporter got right and wrong? Me too! Original analysis on cities. Every week there’s new data about the direction of cities, such as where populations are moving or the impact of legislation. I’ll dive into that data and share a few thoughts on what these new stats mean for cities. Emerging innovations in cities. You’re wondering how the guaranteed income pilot in Philadelphia is going, or why everyone was suddenly obsessed with La Sombrita in LA last week. I’ll reach out to experts and get you the scoop. That’s what I plan to do. I hope your plan is to get engaged and build this community with me. Source
