We talk about middle middle housing in the US but not so much missing middle retail. I’m trying to change that. We need small, entry level spaces for entrepeneurs. Starter retail. Full article below
Our retail landscape is a betrayal of what urbanism does best: weaving the hustle into the minutiae of daily life. But retail is not dead, it's just trapped in the wrong box. Read my latest for Building Excellence: buildingex.com/BE/article/34…

Y’all. I am starting a new firm. One focused on placekeeping just as much placemaking. An urban planning consultancy that acts like a think tank. There’s much more to come but I’d love it if you gave us a follow: @planproformus We’re Proformus. For good form, for people.
