Dallas: Behind the Times When It Comes to Urban Planning

By Tim Rogers |

Last week I attended the Metromorphosis conference staged by the Dallas Planning Council. The theme for the all-day affair was “Dallas’ Post-Recession Renaissance.” There was a lot of talk about what Dallas needs to do to become a world-class city (cough, cough). I meant to put up a post about my thoughts on all that, but the end of the week got away from me, and now I’m glad I didn’t. Because I couldn’t have said it better than Tamar Wilner, a writer I met at the gig. Tamar came to our fair shores from London. She writes about urban planning and renewable energy. She doesn’t have a driver’s license (or a car). And she wasn’t terribly impressed with where Dallas is in its march toward becoming — COUGH, SPUTTER — a world-class city.
