Road Trip Next Week

Or, more accurately, air trip. Next Tuesday, October 23, the Antiplanner will be in New York City speaking at a seminar described in the ad below. As you can see, the Antiplanner gets top billing, followed by some guy named Steve Forbes.

We’re Number 56

There must not be very many architecture blogs out there, because International Listings (a real-estate service) included the Antiplanner in a list of the top 100 architecture blogs.

International Listings describes this blog as “critiques of hundreds of development plans written by a wide variety of federal, state, and local government agencies.”

We’re included as a “niche blog” along with such blogs as the Activist Architect (who believes it is okay to raise sales taxes to build rail transit but not to build sports stadiums) and The Architecture of Fear, which is trying to “create a relevant architectural theory on how we live our lives under the unconscious umbrella of fear and danger.” Hey, I have a message for architects: not everything is about you.
