I'm trying to get @Jay_Pitter to come on the podcast to talk about this banger of an article tying together Cowboy Carter the album with the sense of place it's establishing azuremagazine.com/article/the-cu…
The yoncé x urbanism crossover I needed. Another banger from @Jay_Pitter: The Cultural Geography of Cowboy Carter azuremagazine.com/article/the-cu…
Your Saturday read: My pal @Jay_Pitter has a new piece in #Azure on Beyoncé’s new album. It ties together themes of placemaking, policy & the psychology of boundaries. Check it out: azuremagazine.com/article/the-cu…
As always, a stunning piece by @Jay_Pitter - this time, on the power of placemaking and traversing invisible boundaries in cultural production @AzureMagazine azuremagazine.com/article/the-cu…
Fascinating deep dive from @Jay_Pitter on @Beyonce’s new album and its groundbreaking cultural significance. The Cultural Geography of Cowboy Carter azuremagazine.com/article/the-cu… via @AzureMagazine #Beyoncé
Excellent read on Beyoncé’s new album, as imagination & protected territories, tethered to placemaking, policy & the psychology of invisible (and fabricated) boundaries separating us by @Jay_Pitter in @AzureMagazine. azuremagazine.com/article/the-cu…
This is a city of 3 million people not a fief in medieval England.
Toronto Council meets today! Their agenda includes the vacant home tax, parking tickets, the vacant home tax, Airbnb regulation, and the vacant home tax. Did I mention the vacant home tax? Streaming live here. I will tweet happenings. youtube.com/watch?v=KORc6_…

"Just as place-based policies physically divided communities, our collective imaginations have been red-lined." — @Jay_Pitter on Beyoncé the cultural geography of country in @AzureMagazine. azuremagazine.com/article/the-cu…
I think I want to write something about this rise of open disdain for children in public spaces and what that says about how society views kids, parents (specifically mothers, let's bffr), and how we determine who belongs where.
A year ago today I was making plans to go back to Sudan for the first time since 2009. A year ago today, a brutal war made my cousins, aunts, uncles flee for safety. I haven’t been able to write about it or process it publicly — it’s still not a news story to me. It’s my family.
Want to shake up Canadian public policy? The Hunter Prize is calling on fresh ideas, energy, and voices to solve Canada’s housing affordability crisis.
Here’s some really interesting news — my friend @mitchell_silver, one of North America’s leading urbanists/city planners and just a fantastic person, has decided to run for Raleigh North Carolina City Council. What a great opportunity for the city! raleighmag.com/2024/04/mitche…
I know that's right! If I snagged a rent-stabilized apt 30 yrs ago for $250 and was then able to live my dream as a writer and photographer because I'm paying affordable rent, I'd be standing tall in front page news too. I don't know her but I'm cheering her on.
Major tunneling for the @metrolosangeles D Line (former Purple Line) subway is complete! The 9 mile extension will bring 7 new stations creating a rapid transit connection from DTLA to the Westside along one of LA's busiest corridors. Phase 1 Open: 2025 latimes.com/california/sto…
Social housing in Barcelona That’s right. Social housing!!! By Peris + Toral Arquitectes
An 11-storey building in the Annex is a crisis, but:
It's not enough to just build more housing... "Residents living on new housing estates have hit out at developers, councils and the government for failing to deliver vital local amenities that were promised at the planning stage." independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

@Jay_Pitter 100% It's such a huge problem at the city, god forbid you do work to get protected bike lanes in Scarborough on the off chance you piss off the councillor. Like how is that city building?
This is a city of 3 million people not a fief in medieval England.
The parade continues. Councillor Frances Nunziata moves for there to be no alcohol-permitting parks in her Ward 5. She says she knows what her constituents want. “Don’t come into my ward. That’s my business. Not your business.”
