#SnowVillage build is complete with a celebration of the sometimes lost art of placemaking. Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for joining this exploration of justice-oriented development and Knowledge Towns. Please share more ideas and welcome to the 2023-2024 Snow Village! ❄️🏙️

“A city of walkable communities is a more just city, not for walkability’s sake, but to the extent that it increases the spectrum of mobility options for everyone.” @JSadikKhan In #SnowVillage 🚗 traffic has been moved to the perimeter 4 open pedestrian, cycling, etc access

@JeffSpeckFAICP @JSadikKhan @davidstaley8 @DominicEndicott “Rewild your population and land.” - Knowledge Towns #SnowVillage leverages the natural beauty of its surroundings. ❄️🏙️ (Bonus: alternative version per Tommy Buckets…”You know, Blair, you could just stop building and say they raised taxes so everyone moved out.”)

So many more experts on the subject, esp. each mbr of a community, but since people of Snow Village don’t talk yet, I turn to some experts to make #SnowVillage a #WalkableCity & #KnowledgeTown ❄️🏙️@JeffSpeckFAICP @JSadikKhan @davidstaley8 @DominicEndicott

In fact, I’ve put the photo in a frame, and I set that note in a corner, right in front. Even though he’s “way beyond my sight,” I’m still being nourished by his words. It’s such a comfort to know that others are, too.” —Joanne Rogers #RIPJoanneRogers
