18 April 2003
the zoning work I’ve been up to lately has borne media fruit, even if Fran Spielman misspelled my name.

  • When it comes to population density, the region has a new neighborhood champ Friday, 20 August 2021
    We write about density frequently here at GGWash, and for good reason: great cities and regions are, fundamentally, about bringing a lot of people together — resulting in high population densities.

  • DC has more historic buildings than Boston, Chicago, and Philadelphia combined. Why? Monday, 3 August 2020
    This article was first published on January 5, 2018. As conversations around space and historic buildings continue to evolve we wanted to share this article again.

  • Here’s where the feds once envisioned a mile-long cubicle farm Friday, 25 October 2019
    During this year’s World Series, millions of baseball fans will have their eyes turned to Nationals Park, with the new skyline of Half Street SE beyond the left field line. But if federal planners from the 1960s had their way, that view could have been of a tremendous Brutalist office compound instead of a ballfield, dining/entertainment venues, and thousand […]
