Obama wants to build a new future, but where are the architects? Many of Obama’s initiatives laid out by the campaign interlace innovative solutions for improved housing, stronger neighborhoods, public infrastructure, and sustainability. (Actually, the built environment contributes more to global warming than any other source, including coal!). Obama’s views are refreshing, tackling multiple issues simultaneously, and encompassing sprawl, segregated development, and wastefully larger and larger roads that only serve to separate Americans. We don’t get much of this from the campaign stump-speech or the sound bites on the nightly news, but its important to many of America’s “creative class.” And we need their votes!
