Market Urbanism

Liberalizing cities | From the bottom up

“Market Urbanism” refers to the synthesis of classical liberal economics and ethics (market), with an appreciation of the urban way of life and its benefits to society (urbanism). We advocate for the emergence of bottom up solutions to urban issues, as opposed to ones imposed from the top down.

NIMBYs sue to force developer to “protect character”

April 14, 2008 By Adam Hengels

Nearby residents want to stall Columbus Village from being their Upper West Side neighbor.

The myth that dense development is bad for the environment continues… Maybe high-priced attorneys help propagate these myths at the expense of the environment and supply of housing for the sake of their clients’ Legal Plunder.

    No contact address, so the only way to reach you is commenting.

    Cyburbia (http://www.cyburbia.org), founded in 1994, is the Internet’s oldest continuously operating planning-related Web site. Cyburbia has served the planning community for nearly 14 years with very little funding or financial renumeration. The Cyburbia Forums (http://www.cyburbia.org/forums) went online in 1996, and today remains a vibrant virtual third place for planners, students and others interested in the built environment ; 5,800 members, 400,000 posts, and still growing.

    You’ve got a growing blogroll to many sites, but Cyburbia seems to be missing. Just wanted to make you aware of the site’s existence. Thanks!
