Urban Re-Planning

(via Syd O) Part of making our lifestyle more sustainable has to do with urban planning. More high density, more public transportation, more centralized multi-use complexes ... in short, more communities, less commuting. David Brooks is concerned that Obama's stimulus will be too generic - will just throw money at existing projects - and will lack vision. He may be right, but I hope he isn't. Brooks is right that Obama would be wise to take this opportunity to really take a step forward in urban planning.
