“London Lens” offers posts of plannerly interest from my personal perspective, written beginning in April 2016. I moved to London in October 2014 to work for two years in the planning team at Arup’s London headquarters. Eighteen months along I at last felt sufficiently focused to try blogging, having promised myself to get past the demon that typically prevents me from writing and releasing quickly – feeling insufficiently knowledgeable. I’ve been liberal with observations and google search results, and have offered views, links, and tidbits that I hope will be of interest to colleagues, friends and anyone curious about the many places where London and planning intersect.
I returned to the States in early October 2016 and started a new job with the State of California, as Deputy Director in the California Department of Transportation, responsible for the Department’s Sustainability program. I have a few more blog posts to complete and most as I sort through partial drafts and London memories.
About “Likes” and “Comments” on London Lens: I look forward to your likes and comments! There, are however, a few hurdles. You must have a (free) wordpress.com account to “Like” a post. You can comment without an account but you will need to leave your email address and name. Other options are emailing me directly or using other social media for feedback – I’m on Facebook, Instagram (e2lengreenberg) and LinkedIn (and dormant on Twitter).
Thanks for reading — please come again!
