A conglomeration of New York forces -- the City's "professional urbanist" class, most of whom are at least functionally New Urbanist; NIMBYists; the most Big-Developer-coddling City Hall and City Council in recent memory; and, of course, the Big Developers themselves -- have created in New York a mutant strain of New Urbanism that is less an agenda than a condition, a word that perfectly registers the sense of a sickness.
sorting out new urbanism in new york...very nice. it's a shame that so many have supposedly embraced jane jacobs without having really listened to anything that she said.
