Up here at the annual Congress for the New Urbanism conference in Denver, where I heard a great presentation from the comprehensive planner Austin didn’t hire, Gianni Longo, of ACP Visioning & Planning. And from staff in other cities going through the comp plan process. For the notes from the session, e-mail me at kgregor@austinchronicle.com.
