Let’s get past ‘hard’ for fresh ideas on regional thinking
“How do we achieve real ‘regionalism,’ and the cross jurisdictional planning that addresses transit, transportation and housing?”
“So Greater Charleston has become just one big place, governed by a matrix of parochialism. And so what? You’ve given us food for thought; now tell us how we get from there to where were need to be.”
Good questions and fair criticism from readers of my recent column on the void of regionalism. Many elected officials weighed in, too. Simply stated, we have special opportunities to guide more effectively the irreversible trends of growth with smart and sophisticated planning and firm commitments to regionalism.
