Before and after.
Seeing the parts and the whole at once helps reveal how time and evolution shape the city. Here, a parking lot becomes a beloved public park while surrounding lots gradually develop over decades.
Almost like a chessboard where the pieces don’t move,they evolve.

Who better to talk with about Missing Middle Housing than the man who coined the term, colleague Dan Parolek? Talked MMH, #MediumScaleMediumDensity, and cities. Then toured Dan and Ben Bolgar around Detroit to explore new projects and the city’s evolving development landscape.

Add bikes to a city…..increase personal freedom
17 Aug 2024
20 years ago I lived in Paris. It was lovely but also clogged with polluting traffic. People thought I was mad for riding a bike, almost no one else did. Now it’s a normal thing to do. Air pollution, noise & traffic deaths have all plummeted. Took real leadership.

Cars across the street,parked illegally for the yearly #ArtinthePark event are proving a point.Their presence acts to slow traffic, and has me questioning why we don’t just allow parking on both sides of the street. #trafficcalming #yieldstreets #nospeedhumps

Over the last 3 years we’ve seen the importance of exterior space.
Outdoor seating replacing parking stalls. A good thing.
Attempts to protect outdoor seating seem to be coming with #unintendedconsequences .
