Welcome to the Community + Design + Advocacy blog

As an attorney and consultant for over twenty five years in government and business regulation,  I currently focus on community development and urban design issues - through organizations at the national, regional and local levels.

It is my sincere belief that quality design, particularly as it relates to community planning, can improve quality of life at a community and personal level. The overall goal of this blog is to share inspirational theories, guide you to resources, and share current practices in the field of community design.

If you are looking to create social, economic, and cultural benefits for your community, and you'd like to learn more about the ideals that go into this type of planning and design, then you're in the right place.
