What I’m Reading (and listening to)
|
Highway Teardown Tour | 3. Rochester, NY, The Big Dig Podcast
Shoutout to Erik, Suzanne, Shawn, and all the homies in Rochester who are doing great work. So proud of my hometown! City Pulse 2026 Downtown Report, Gensler Research Institute “Hard metrics like foot traffic, revenues, and property values matter, but they are not sufficient on their own. CBDs need to build emotional resonance to keep people coming back. What New York Can Learn from the NIMBYs of the 19th Century, by Stefan Al & Lisa Chamberlain for Vital City
“Too often, housing debates reduce opponents to selfish obstructionists. In fact, what people often resist is not density alone, but forms of development they perceive as placeless.” How U.S. Cities Lost the Economic Development Plot, by Daniel Wortel-London & Lisa Chamberlain for Common Edge
“State and local governments need to stop treating economic development as a competition for the same small pool of large employers and start treating it as an ecosystem management problem.”
