A reader pointed me to this weblog by Alex Marshall, a New York writer who thinks about design, sociology, urban design and its politics. Not everybody’s cup of tea, but thoughtful. He posts only several times a month, but recent items have included:

• Cities of Gloom
• Looking Good, Working Bad
• Build It and They Will Come
• Living the Balanced Life
• Car Alarms Suck
• Do Europeans Do It Better?
• Roads vs. Rails
