Thank you for your interest in A Better Built Environment. I started this newsletter to both strengthen my habit of writing consistently and to connect with others who share similar interests and passions.

I consume a lot of media related to architecture, design, cities, transportation, urbanism, and other topics that address our built environment. I’m using this space to curate the most interesting content and add my thoughts on how we can make our cities, towns and communities better places to live. The posts include things I write, read, and people I think you should know and follow.
