Historic Preservation

Jane Jacobs/Robert Moses/Stimulus Bill

Posted by ⋅ March 22, 2009 ⋅ 1 Comment

Check out these interesting posts over at ThinkMarkets about the possible effects of the stimulus bill’s infrastructure spending on neighborhoods and local social economies. I thought the references to Jane Jacobs were particularly timely given our little whirlwind tour through her The Death and Life of Great American Cities  last week:

Infrastructure: How the Seen Crowds Out the Unseen

Infrastructure: Here’s What Robert Moses Would Do Today

About ELMalvaney

In addition to ruling over the MissPres universe with an iron fist, Malvaney enjoys reading, wandering around old buildings, stopping to smell the magnolias, fiddling with databases, and sitting on the porch with a good book and a big ol' dog. Non-interests include but are not limited to tweeting, texting, IMing, planking, Angry Birds, and the Twilight series.

    There is a lot in there that really scares me…and I hope other preservationist. Whenever you see “watch for the development of (insert federal agency) criteria” it just can’t be good.
