Redefining the Salt City

Growing up in the Rust Belt meant understanding that cities need to adapt and change, while embracing their legacies where appropriate. The grit and determination that Syracuse, along with other Upstate New York cities, has exhibited as it has worked to shift its trajectory in the 21st Century is inspiring. But we have a long way to go.

This website is dedicated to presenting ideas inspired by the places I’ve lived, traveled, and studied that can be borrowed, altered, and improved upon to fit the needs of a City looking to rise again. From transportation to housing to creating those vital third places that make a city a city. I look to be part of this conversation and hope others will join.
