This is a journal of experiences and ideas related to the creation of community. I am an urban planner in a small resort town on the coast of Lake Michigan. I'm also a father, a husband, a musician, a nature-lover, a neighbor, and a volunteer. I find great (and not-so-great) examples of community everywhere. This blog is my reminder to document those examples, share them with others, and - if we're lucky - discover something unique about our relatedness.
Please feel free to post your experiences here as well. Yet another way to create community.
This is a great video from the recent TED conference which highlights the way several seemingly disparate communities (health sector, urban planners, sustainability advocates) have recently come together to promote a new pattern of development that is better for our health, more economical and vastly better for the environment.
