Editor's Notes

  • #4 No, Phoenix doesn’t rate as an actual \n
  • #5 \n
  • #6 \n
  • #7 \n
  • #8 \n
  • #9 Conventional urban intervention has proceeded in the reverse order, considering first what is needed, but too often at the expense of what is valued. In many instances over the last century, urban interventions have even opted to begin with a tabula rasa, or clean slate, razing what is already there or finding pristine land upon which to erect master plans.\n
  • #10  vernacular urbanism – that is, an urbanism that has arisen from and is an expression of a particular local culture and ethos.\n\nmaking places that respond to specific and local environments and circumstances: vernacular urbanism.\n\n
  • #11 \n
  • #12 Two kinds of vision: the ability to see things clearly and a vision for a better future. These are acquired through “me-search” and  “we-search.” \nMe-search entails listening to our own intuitions, preconceptions, and biases. \nWe-search involves listening to others and carefully observing places to build relationships, identify assets, and consider how best to build upon them. \nRe-search looks into the past, best practices elsewhere, and current conditions.\n

  • #21 “urban acupuncture,” skillfully inserting interventions into the urban organism that clear blockages along “urban meridians,” thereby liberating “chi,” the life force of the city and enabling positive growth and change**\n
  • #22 A successful VIDA process is catalytic, effecting significant and ongoing change, eventually without the initial stewards, who may then move on to catalyze other projects.\n
