Just Who the Heck Does Patrick Kennedy Think He Is, Anyway?

Careful readers of the magazine noticed that we debuted a new columnist in our November issue. The column is called Urban Affairs, and a fellow named Patrick Kennedy writes it. In his first installment, Patrick tackled Dallas’ parking problem. I’ve heard from a couple people who’ve asked who, exactly, Patrick is. I can’t answer that question. I’ve only known him for a few months. But I can tell you approximately who he is. Patrick runs a blog called Walkable DFW. He’s semi-famous for not owning a car. And, besides that, he is a partner in the planning and design firm Space Between Design Studio, where he is Director of Development Quality and Livability Consulting. He is on the board of directors of the North Texas chapter of the Congress of New Urbanism. So there.
