In this blog I intend to introduce free market thought to urbanists, and introduce urbanism to market advocates. I also hope to incorporate some ideas relating to environmentalism in the built environment. I like to refer to the connections between free market economic thought, urbanism, and environmentalism as "Market Urbanism."
Through my personal inquiry, I have concluded that free market advocates and urbanists actually share many objectives. This blog discusses urban economics, transportation, and developmnet from a free-market point of view.
