I haven't read The Meaning of the City, but a couple of his books (The Humiliation of the Word and The Technological Society) inspired my undergraduate thesis. I always found him to be a very challenging writer (not in a technical sense, though I suppose he is that too, but in a moral sense). I also see Wolterstorff and Keller over there, so I suspect we would have a lot to talk about if we ever met.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, looks like a nice blog with some good thoughts (enjoyed the posts on the fused grid, naked streets, small spaces, and -- as someone who works hard to control his pedestrian/cycling rage (rage at drivers, that is) -- the one about street width). I'll be back. Hopefully you'll have some thoughts on or prompted by Ellul at some point?robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08135636157110053449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5079297043552042968.post-16806535153689169922008-11-01T18:18:00.000-04:002008-11-01T18:18:00.000-04:00It will be interesting to see how the City Council...It will be interesting to see how the City Council and public react to this proposal.

Instead they want to spend millions to build something that in all likelyhood will one day just be part of an oversupply of parking and wasted space.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15689928015042507584noreply@blogger.com
