The New Suburbia

The Minneapolis Star Tribune has a story on land planner Rick Harrison in Sunday's business section.  (Complete with photo!)  Alert readers of this blog will recall that I sponsored an event with Rick at the Pollution Control Agency headquarters earlier this month.  Rick has some great ideas about saving suburbia from itself and revitalizing urban communities, not just for the rich gentrifiers, but for all income levels.

I recommend his book Prefurbia for a complete take on the subject.  He takes the challenge of New Urbanism and goes them one better, with dense developments that humans would actually want to live in.
