Thanks, @agmoore! We have to find a way to keep in touch that doesn't depend on the comment section.
I think anyone who's interested in urbanism can be an urbanist. I just have the education to recognise it and the tools to express myself. Urbanism is something that encompasses so many different fields that it it just naturally allows for a conversation between many different disciplines.
I guess I'm an urbanist :)---without the education. Yeah, communicating in comments is like yelling in a crowded room. Still, I'm so pleased to watch your progress. Every one of your blogs is a pleasure.
