Google & Joel Kotkin...
Just keeping tabs on local Buffalo bags blogs that stimulate the debate about urban planning is frustrating when links aren't provided. Perhaps we'll be discussing this at the BBC this evening at the Anchor Bar.

Yet it's remarkably easy to keep tabs on the ground breaking and "corrective work" of Joel Kotkin one of the most remarkable and often mis-understood urbanist thinkers and students of the history of cities. Pretty wild considering he begins his critique way back in Babylon!

Google News about Joel Kotkin continous updates about this guy's work. I've just archived The New Republic article by Kotkin over here. It's called:
Off to take pictures of the Immaculate Conception. Really, the one at Elmwood and Edward.

There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask
of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.
- Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) from The Death and Life of Great American Cities, 1961.
