Suburbs and their replicating ways

April 18, 2008

Two items about suburbia came across my horizon recently. One is a USA Today report on Chinese delegations coming to the US to study planned suburbs: Modern suburbia not just in America anymore by Haya El Nasser (today, April 18), which has an ominous (to my ears) conclusion, although there’s a lot of interesting stuff […]

Writer’s block: coming or going?

April 14, 2008

Urban “big box” stores: Toronto critics head-to-head?

April 8, 2008

There’s a fascinating dust-up of sorts playing out in Toronto’s two major newspapers over a big box store development planned for Leslie Street. From what I can tell, this is the location — not right downtown, perhaps, but certainly very well within the inner core. And yet the Globe and Mail‘s James Rusk brings out […]
