Hello, and welcome to my blog on Urban Planning. I am currently a graduate student in the Department of City and Metropolitan Planning at the University of Utah. Really this blog is an attempt to start a conversation about certain issues in urban planning. I am providing several papers I have written as a beginning of that conversation. You are welcome to make comments, share your own discoveries, or even use my papers as a reference if needed. I am passionate about this subject even though my background until recently has been in the performing arts. Don't hesitate to leave a comment. I would love to hear from you.
