MEGAPOLISOMANCY

                                              June 26, 2006
  There are a bunch
  of names for a                       And I don't like any
  constellation of                     of these names, but
  things I'm                           can't think of a better
  interested in...                     one.  Sound familiar?

                                       It's funny how often
     Urban Planning                    I end up saying things
     Public Policy                     like this.
     New Urbanism     
                                            And if it seems
                                            tedious to you,
  "Urban Planning"?                         imagine how I
  Doesn't that beg                          feel.
  a big question?
  What if cities
  can't really be
  "planned".

  "Public Policy": vague,    
  excessively dull sounding,            
  and anyway, one of the               
  most important features             
  of any "public policy" is            
  going to be what stays     
  "private".                 

  "New Urbanism"?
  It's not going to        
  take long for that        And it's not like 
  to get old.               suburbanites don't
                            have something to 
                            learn from new    
                            urbanites...      
               
                    

The trouble:

This is a constellation of
things that definitely
orbits each other, but
a surprising number of
people still do not see               ZONED
the gravitational attraction
between them...


   Megapolisomany: the secret power of cities.
