How to turn your Neighborhood into a Village
Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to Portland, Oregon to talk with architect Mark Lakeman, founder of Communitecture Architecture and the City Repair Project. Mark initiated a movement in Portland to transform the homogenous neighborhoods of the city into places that have many of the qualities and characteristics that are found in some of the most treasured villages on Earth. Mark reveals the things you need to know to transform your own neighborhood into a village.

Had another session of Sprawl a couple nights ago.
For context, Kassidy has a chip in her head that allows the corp she works for (Manticorp) to hijack her and take control of her body to make her do jobs for them. (Which is insult to injury because if they just asked and paid her she’d still do it but this about taking away her autonomy) And the chip has consequences if she spills the details to anyone.
Needless to say, the work Manticorp is forcing her to do is overlapping with the party so she sucks it up and tells the them regardless of whatever pain it was gonna cause her… the chip immediately assumed control and made her watch as she's puppetted into was attacking the party. And Kass is unfortunately one of the two in the group who is built to deal damage. She was able to take control back just before she was about to kill the hacker, stabbing the shoulder instead of his heart.
Needless to say she's having a great time.

a brand new starbucks, utterly alone in its desert landscape. I wish it were an elmgreen & dragset prop, but even as everything gets hotter and the west dries up, sprawl is still all we do out here.

Stocking the Chattahoochee with piranha to keep MARTA out of the suburbs
by Darin Givens
Dan Immergluck gives a good summary of the troubled beginnings of MARTA in this excerpt from his book 'Red Hot City', which you should read.
Tumblr media
Yes, metro Atlanta is a different place now and there's obviously a lot more support for MARTA in Cobb today than there was 52 years ago.
I'm not sharing this just to shame people. I'm sharing it because it's important to know how we got to where we are with our rail system, which reaches only a small portion of a very sprawled-out metro region. It's not MARTA's fault.
There was a period in the 1970s when the federal government was spending a lot of money to build rail transit in cities, but they still had to be judicious with where it was spent (Atlanta got its share of funding at the time it did partially because Seattle turned theirs down).
In the years since then, the price of building new rail in cities has skyrocketed for various reasons, even when adjusted for inflation. Cobb County could approve MARTA today, but getting a new rail track adequately funded there is a more difficult prospect now.
In 1971 no one was making transit-oriented density or a de-emphasis of cars in the transportation system a requirement for rail funding. The idea of building park-and-ride rail to a single office district seemed OK.
In 2023, we need to think differently. Work commutes are less than 1/4 of the trips we make, office districts have spread out, teleworking is more common -- it's time to reimagine transit so that it's paired with a more compact type of development, plus affordable homes, plus mixed-use neighborhoods designed at a scale for walking.

I took a walk in a forest today and was reminded of the precious Georgia Piedmont that needs to be protected from urban sprawl.
Compact forms of development, and infill growth, should be the rule throughout the Atlanta region -- along with affordable walkability. Our use of land should lift up humanity while also protecting natural ecosystems.
Enormous damage has already been done in terms of forest loss and fragmentation through our urban sprawl in the Atlanta region. And it's still happening. The need for policy that prevents further sprawl is crucial.
From 'The impacts of Atlanta’s urban sprawl on forest cover and fragmentation', Matthew D. Miller, Applied geography 2012 v.34:
"Urbanization of the counties surrounding the city of Atlanta, GA resulted in broad deforestation and forest fragmentation of the region...enabling individuals to live in areas converted from forested areas to suburban expressions of the American Dream. This sprawl development of the region has come at the expense of habitat integrity and poses complex environmental conservation issues for the metro Atlanta counties."

Projections for more sprawl in Atlanta should be a call to action for better urbanism
Darin Givens / February 18, 2024
According to Atlanta Regional Commission's forecast, the fastest-growing counties in the region through 2050 will be the ones of the fringes, such as Forsyth, Barrow, Paulding, Cherokee, Walton, and Coweta.
Tumblr media
This is nothing to celebrate. It should, in fact, be a call to action for all regional leaders. Our growth should happen primarily in places that can provide walkability, transit service, and compact-footprint developments.
Continuing to sprawl outward in a car-dependent format is the wrong move for sustainability, and the wrong move for equitable outcomes. Urbanized spaces that are near transit lines, and that have a politically-viable roadmap for infill density, should be shouldering the heaviest load in terms of our growth.
The City of Atlanta should be a leader in sustainable growth for the region by enacting neighborhood rezoning that allows for sensible density, particularly near transit stops, and through street redesigns that prioritize alternatives to personal-car trips.
Don't accept these projections from ARC as being inevitable. For our own sake, and for the sake of future generations, we need to change that narrative and shape a better future.

First VOD of Sprawl is out now! If you can't catch my streams or don't like the live format as much, the best place to watch me play games is here on my YouTube. This game is really cool so far and I look forward to exploring it some more!
