		<description><![CDATA[The treasury&#8217;s financial bailout has been labeled Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP).  Since they chose a name whose acronym sounds more like a government scandal or cover-up, I&#8217;m not sure they&#8217;ll fair much better with the details.  To this end, I&#8217;m going to ignore all the information/misinformation, and focus on putting this number in perspective.

		<description><![CDATA[Although I had been consumed with my work recently, I still had time to keep tabs on the blogosphere.  LIke many of you, I have a laundry list of blogs from which I receive feeds.  Relative to my interests, it has been easy to discover those covering design, architecture, and urbanism.  On the other hand, [...]]]></description>

Theory is not written for entertainment, yet when it is a successful and succinct explanation of the inner workings of a formerly confusing phenomenon, it is by its nature absorbing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We always hear the first and most important factor in public health is access to clean water, an issue that urbanists in the developing world rarely consider. As such, Matthew Kahn of Environmental and Urban Economics ponders the next factor once we&#8217;re less concerned about water &#8211; sprawl. [Image: Suburban sprawl in Albuquerque.

		<description><![CDATA[With all my talk of economics lately, I thought I&#8217;d share a recent report on the state of the architecture industry. According to the AIA, the Architecture Billings Index (ABI) is down to its lowest levels since 2001. If your firm is diversified, however, you might not need to panic just yet.

		<description><![CDATA[A topic of great interest to both economists and urbanists is the prediction of the next great American city. Houston Skyline. Joel Kotkin, of The American, makes a case for Houston as the most likely candidate in &#8220;Lone Star Rising.&#8221; Maybe I&#8217;m biased as a former Houston resident, but I need to contradict his arguments.
