Hey folks,

I wanted to share here that I started a weekly urbanism newsletter. The second issue is out now.

There’s more info in the first announcement post but the general idea is to bring urbanism news from around the world to inspire local change. Why? In any urban studies/planning/etc in school you learn a lot of cases from around the world that make you go “wow why don’t we do that?” But once you’re out of school (or if you’re an activist / concerned citizen) you don’t really see this much unless you really go looking (or spend hours a week on social media). So here we have a weekly newsletter of news in a digestible form.

I don’t plan to write original content. Just lite commentary on the links.

Anyway, I hope you check it out. I’d love to hear what news sources you get urbanism content from (especially outside US/Euro news). Or any particular articles you’ve liked recently.

PS: I don’t plan to put it behind a paywall. We’re just starting with Substack because of the ease of getting started and not being totally subject to algos of big social media. Right now it’s more of a passion project to fill a gap in the field while learning a lot.

Cheers!
