About Me
- Name: Richard Layman
- Location: Washington, DC, United States
I am an urban revitalization advocate and consultant in Washington, DC. Urban economic competitiveness is dependent on efficient transit and mixed use, compact places. Therefore, I end up writing mostly about mobility and urban design. While I am based in and write about Washington, DC issues, I try to write so that "universal lessons" are evident in the entries.
