The original idea for this blog was to log the things I learn for my supervised research class to make it easier to write a report at the end of the semester. I have another blog, a food blog, that I thoroughly enjoy writing, but I have to admit that the idea to blog about urban planning and my research came from a classmate and fellow blogger: The Tree Hugging Urbanist. Hopefully I can get her to make a few guest posts. ::fingers crossed:: Check her out here!
As I was putting together a reading list and syllabus of sorts, I ran across a few articles that emphasized the fact that most people don't know what planners do. Thus, the blog was transformed. I want to share what planning is with as many people as possible. My research interests include transportation planning and urban food systems and how they link, so the majority of my posts will surround those topics; however I will also include other areas of interests, urban issues and planning solutions. Hope you learn something, feel influenced to get involved in your community, and most of all support planning!
Thanks for reading
