Urban Square

Scroll to Top

If you asked most Americans whether they think we should set aside as much land for parks and open space as we are leasing to oil and gas companies, I believe you would hear a resounding ‘yes!’

Bruce Babbitt, former Secretary of the Interior, in remarks prepared for National Press Club

    Hi, I'm Steve. I believe in a future that is progressively urban, diverse, and interconnected.

    Urban Square is a running faucet for ideas -- both new and old, half-baked and caked in cement.

    My focus is mainly on topics including but not limited to:

    ~Public policy
    ~Economics
    ~Foreign affairs
    ~Urban planning
    ~Social dynamics

    Of course, with the latitude to shift gears at any moment.
