The lean urbanism concept, he says, is like a software patch, or a workaround – ultimately a guide or a tip sheet to navigate the complicated, and often very expensive, maze of working in the built environment in the U.S. “It’s about knowing that with certain building types, under a certain threshold, you don’t need an elevator. Or a sprinkler system. A lot of developers know that, and we want to daylight that. We want to present that thematically.” — theatlanticcities.com

I hope he succeeds here as well as in his New Urbanist endeavors. Anything which puts the focus back on people and design rather than bureaucracy and the deep pockets that it favors is for the better.

Love it! I strongly support this kind of code-minded advocacy. So rare that architects have the combination of time, experience, and interest to get involved in this kind of thing.
