Robin shares how she got to thinking about urban issues and why she believes current planning practice is stuck in the 1990s. We discuss the often jargon-filled language the profession uses, taking a paragraph from Austin’s current zoning code rewrite to illustrate. <iframe style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/5651495/height/90/width/500/theme/custom/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/autoplay/no/preload/no/no_addthis/no/direction/backward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/87A93A/" height="90" width="500" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe><div class="blogger-post-footer">Wire Feed</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17753132030772725906noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6609536178570975752.post-61169219038066704042017-08-27T23:04:00.000-07:002017-08-27T23:04:00.899-07:00I will be updating here less now as I've moved blogging over to new The Overhead Wire site. This site will always be up as an archive.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> My <a href="https://theoverheadwire.com/">most recent post</a> is on Houston and development as it pertains to the weekend's horrible events.&nbsp; At some point soon I'll write a longer post about the change, but in the mean time, feel free to subscribe to the <a href="https://theoverheadwire.com/feed/">RSS there</a> too.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Wire Feed</div>Pantograph Trolleypolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17833159138533550544noreply@blogger.com0
