Greetings from the UK. Here I hope to post thoughts and commentaries about planning and policy issues as I see them while here in the UK for a year. I am in the UK at the University of Sheffield as a Fulbright Scholar and will be teaching and researching on topics of active transportation, city design, and citizen engagement / participatory GIS. With this blog I hope to capture initial reactions to things I like and those that seem a bit curious, even if my reactions are brief and naive glimpses into how things work here. Many of these things will become mundane and just accepted as I just live day to day. So, highlighting issues that I have not yet come to accept as the way things are and should be, will hopefully provide some interesting insight and perspective, if not to you, then at least as a record for me over time.
For those interested on the family and personal side of our UK year, Mindy will be creating a separate blog that you can link to when it is up and running. Some personal items will slip in here of course as well.
Cheers,
Marc
