Urbanism, bikes, transit, housing, and more! This starter pack is intended to include orgs, researchers, city planners, housing experts, creator activist's--basically the folks we should be listening to their expert advice.
Co-curated by Brent Toderian & Tom Flood! People & orgs that are ESPECIALLY effective at TRANSFORMING the broad public conversation about better city-making, smarter transportation, & equitable cities for people. This pack is about changing minds, branding ideas, & new ways to break thru the noise!
Curated by a 34 year international urbanist & city planner. These are many of the city champions I’ve run across so far, but I’m still discovering more. Planning, urban design, architecture, transportation, housing, politics, place-making, sustainability, livability, equity, affordability & more.
