Welcome to the City of Yes!

City of Yes is exploring a broader, more abundant urbanism in search of answers to the question, “What makes for a livable city in today’s world?” Technological, cultural, and economic forces are reshaping cities in real time, requiring city dwellers and leaders to embrace the challenges before them with a “yes, and” mindset.

We’re writing on Substack in part for the communal experience, to learn together, so we encourage readers to comment and share. We’d love to hear from you!

City of Yes is a free publication today, but if you like what we’re doing here, you can help us keep doing it by sharing with friends and subscribing!

I write about urbanism and local government, often but not exclusively through an Austin lens.
