@GofLeisure I think I’m with you on this. Neighborhood based names like “Eken Park” rather than “East Washington Ave & Marquette St”.

it's #SpitballSunday
(yes i just made this hashtag up because I wanted an excuse to post the following)

#MassTransit and #PublicTransit

because #CarbonReduction in #Transportation

also because less #LandUse footprint with higher density

also because less time wasted finding a freaking parking space

also because better #HabitatConnectivity with a mixed matrix of green spaces amongst urbanization, serving as #WildlifeCorridors

this in turn improves #watershed recharge and reduces #stormwater management and #flooding problems because there's less #impermeable surfaces

mixed matrix of businesses, residences, and green spaces improves local economic #resilience by helping local businesses, and also improves #SenseOfPlace

sure, some people will want to live far out in the exurbs on big lawns but not everyone should be condemned to this #CarCentric infrastructure

Excellent post about Yi-Fu Tuan's ideas and publications by Kelley A. McClinchey in The Conversation /Canada.
Good for undergraduate students looking for an accessible introduction to Tuan's work.

I’m slowly giving up on the idea of returning to #AcWri tomorrow. I really need a decompression day *even tho* I’m by degrees falling back in love with this #rural #archaeology piece (which I just need more time for…!) in my #sensoRoma thoughtscape. I’ve started to look again at the work of Emilio Sereni (whose lyrical and interwoven approach I adore). #Histodons #countryside #SenseOfPlace
