Links added this week

I wouldn't claim that I actively check the links in the right sidebar to keep them current as there are more than 2,000 links, the last time I counted, which was many years ago.  But I do fix them as I find out about problems.

But I do go through from time to time and reorganize, add and augment categories, and change things up some.  I realize that each week I should do an entry summarizing the links I've added during the previous week.

For example, under Great Urban Journalism the Squandered Heritage series of articles on historic preservation and demolition from the Chicago Tribune were from 2002-2003 and the old section link no longer works, but these links do:

• Squandered Heritage Part 1: Search and Destroy (Chicago Tribune)
• Squandered Heritage Part 2: Demolition Machine (Chicago Tribune)
• Squandered Heritage Part 3: Alternatives (Chicago Tribune)

I continue to add to the Parks, Waterfronts & Rivers section, including:

• Green Places Magazine (UK)
• GreenSpace (UK)
• Inst. of Parks and Green Space (UK)
• Playworks

I am still reworking the transit links, for example I separated out Bus Transit Technology from Transit System Operation, which lists third party contractors like Veolia, updated some links, and added a couple new ones, although I wouldn't consider it to be a complete listing.  The Dr. Transit sections need more systematic reorganizing still.

I renamed one section Infrastructure & Utilities and am including links on both undergrounding powerlines and government owned utilities such as:

• American Public Power Association
• Michael Likosky (NYU)  

And in the section on Architecture, Urbanism and Revitalization Links:

 • Intercultural Urbanism and Contemporary Urban Anthropology.

which are authored by University of Denver professor of anthropology Dean Saitta.  The syllabus for his class, Culture and The City, looks to be pretty interesting.

In Food, Gardens, Agriculture, Markets, & Forestry:

• Chicago Food & Nutrition Network (national section)
• From the Bay, For the Bay (Chesapeake Bay) (local section) 

And in both Tourism and Dr. Transit (General):

• Travel & Tech Report (IGLU Cruises)

Finally, in Historic Preservation:

• Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy

I think that's it.
