http://citiwire.net/post/1507/ Our mission... to reflect a new narrative for 21st century cities and regions. Leaving behind the 20th century pattern of cheap energy, endless automobility, burgeoning suburbs, threatened inner cities. To a challenge-packed 21st century: energy prices headed north, perilous carbon emissions, deepening have-have not divisions, excruciating social problems and deep challenges in education. But a time of exciting promise, too.

Policy or not, it's the inevitable sum of people's individual decisions. Oh, and we will need some younger people from somewhere to be productive enough to pay the oldies their pensions.

The Trust for Public Land's Center for City Park Excellence is doing a terrific job of documenting all the ways in which parks contribute to the economies and quality of life of our cities. The Brookings Institute, Mayor's Daly and Bloomberg and others have helped cities benefit by integrating parks and openspace into our policy, planning and development. I hope the megaregions will help to create a network of new public parks in a time of significant fiscal challenges.
