Human Transit

my book reviewed in CNU magazine

 

"Once in a while, a book comes along that summarizes most of what's important about a particular subject, and does so in a way that's lucid and effortless.  One such book is Jarrett Walker's Human Transit."  

-- William Lieberman, review of Human Transit,
Better Cities & Towns, a Congress for the New Urbanism magazine.

I specifically like Bill's praise for the earliest CNU conferences, where everything happened in plenary and as a result, people had to listen to things they might not want to hear. 

congress for the new urbanism: my spark of fire and brimstone

Erin Chantry, of Tindale Oliver urban designers, wrote a nice little piece about the Congress for the New Urbanism panel where I spoke alongside G.B. Arrington of Parsons Brinckeroff.  I promised a little fire and brimstone, but apparently I came off as way too reasonable.
