High School Kids Design Communities

While Vienna treads water, avoiding any semblance of smart redevelopment on Maple Avenue, local high school kids are learning what it takes to get the job done (PDF). Can you imagine Maud Robinson actually working with (and respecting) a young person toward a productive goal?

Could you see Jane Seeman or Maud ever understanding a phrase like smart-growth? Vienna, in many ways obvious to even high school kids, is about 'dumb-growth'.

Comments

In Vienna, we have 'smart-growth' mice.

Mice? The old Southern States always had rats playing around out back in the hay, eating seed and feed. Now they enjoy fajitas, noodles, and ice cream with lattes for dessert. Now that's smart growth!
