    Market Urbanism

    I’ve found out about some interesting new sites in just watching my site statistics tracking referrers and checking out “retweeters.” I’ve gotten some traffic from Streetsblog and Sustainable Cities Collective for some time now.

    Recently I’ve gotten some traffic from Market Urbanism. While I’m not a libertarian, I’ve always had fruitful discussions with libertarians about urban economics. In my view, you have to strive for market efficiency before you start talking about equity. So, I’m quite pleased to find a blog that’s taken up this torch: to school the libertarians in some urban economics. Where else am I going to find someone steering folks away from Frank Lloyd Wright, which will have some bearing on tomorrow’s post on visual order as we launch back into The Death and Life of Great American Cities.

    Though I don’t subscribe to all the views there, I do subscribe to the RSS feed. Check it out if you’re curious.
