Not too active on twitter (but I do like retweeting things from my work —@regionalplan). Very active on Instagram. Mostly ceramic sculptures of old men there.

For the last century, @RegionalPlan has put forth ideas that have defined the tristate region. Their work could double as a history of urban planning—what it's envisioned, and also, reckoned with.

Thrilled to present a centennial deep dive, for @CityLab: https://t.co/Wa19jOrPI9

🚨 TRIBORO IS MOVING FORWARD 🚨

@GovKathyHochul just announced @MTA will launch an environmental impact statement for Interborough Express, an above-ground rail line using existing tracks through Brooklyn and Queens, and two-thirds of RPA's Triboro proposal #StateOfTheStateNY

In NYC, there's too much asphalt & too little sewer capacity. Pooling rainwater combines w/overflowing sewage & spills into waterways as combined sewer overflows (CSOs). Designing streets to contain rainwater (not just drain it) will reduce CSOs.

Robert Moses is the most well-known offender but he wasn't alone. The entire planning profession is culpable for the racism of highways.

Our org defied Moses on projects like Battery Bridge (1939) but our 1st Regional Plan (1929) proposed routes for Cross Bronx & other highways.

"Cars take up way too much physical space to transport too few people. It’s geometry.

The land value of Manhattan alone is estimated to top $1.7 trillion. Why are we giving so much of it to cars?"

NYC's rail network has always focused on getting people in & out of Manhattan. It's time to bring better transit to the boroughs w/Triboro, a 24-mile rail line running through The BX, Bkyln & Qns.
