A link to a site that explores land use from a planners point of view. I downloaded the Tactical Urbanism report that talks about diversity of use (both informal and formal).
Jane Jacobs’ words and ideas are embedded throughout the site and that is always a good thing for us in the public market movement…

They write:
“The American approach to growth is causing economic stagnation and decline along with land use practices that force a dependency on public subsidies. The inefficiencies of the current approach have left American towns financially insolvent, unable to pay even the maintenance costs of their basic infrastructure. A new approach that accounts for the full cost of growth is needed to make our towns strong again.”

I look forward to reading more.
