Excellent. An awful lot here but much of it speaks my language! Brueggemann and Jennings alone. Pierre Lenfant’s choices in designing the district of Columbia’s original Street layout would be an interesting counterpoint. You might also be interested in this gathering.— happening this week!— hosted by CNU.
Thanks so much, Cort. Jennings and Brueggemann forever. Both have helped my thinking a lot (I like to think).
I love D.C. Lots of mass transit and that height restriction that helps make it more walkable. L'Enfant's angles help, and the alleys help, but I'd like courtyards at the center of more blocks. At least they fought off the Interstate more than any other city I'm aware of. Here's a great article on the effects of D.C.'s planning by an urban planner I follow: https://legaltowns.substack.com/p/dcs-continental-urban-notes?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

Forgot to say, I had no idea anything like Faith Property existed anywhere. Thank you much.
