What It Is
Ecology of Absence is a voice for historic preservation and a chronicle of architectural change in the St. Louis region that started as a companion to the website of the same name. The blog focuses on changes in the built environment that come about as a city attempts to stem the deindustrialization, depopulation, shrinking public services and loss of architectural fabric that define the modern American urban condition. There is occasional coverage of other cities and rural areas.

It is good Paul McKee is speaking. He has a lot of healing to do. Hopefully he will continue to do so.
While it is not his job to design the city, perhaps he will prove to be a better leader than city politicians.
One thing, the idea of job centers is a bad start. It is suburban, he should be planning for streets, connections with transit, density and walk ability to really capture the essence of an urban environment. Then he would take over leadership of the project.
Thanks for the in depth info Michael, (this and the post above). It is good the city is stepping up to the plate--sort of.
A truly revolutionary plan by McKee could win the day.
Thanks, GMichaud. I hope good things will come out of this process!
