STREET DESIGN: THE SECRET TO GREAT CITIES AND TOWNS

MY EXPERTISE IS CITED IN THE SECOND EDITION

James Dougherty's fabulous and inclusive cover painting

I am gratified to be quoted as an advocate with expertise in Universal Design and mobility for people with disabilities in Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns, 2nd Edition.

I will share my insights, based on working on inclusion and better policy around the world, at a Universal Design summit this fall.

I am honored that my urban/architectural photography is featured in The Art of the New Urbanism Volume 2 published by Wiley.

The book is by James Dougherty, Charles C. Bohl & Victor Dover.

It features my Street Photography from Istanbul, Morocco and Cairo.

I am proud to collaborate with Victor Dover.

He has been a friend and mentor for more than two decades.

He has sought my guidance on matters of Universal Design and Wheelchair Access.

We both are featured in the disability positive film Mark -- A Call to Action:

HAPPY 32ND ANNIVERSARY

TO MY SOULMATE HEIDI

Our 32^nd wedding anniversary is this Thursday.

We have been a couple for more than a third of a century.

Last year, we celebrated our belated 30^th with two amazing weeks in Paris.

This year, certainly no travel – beyond maybe a weekend walk along Ocean Drive, safely with masks on and distancing practiced.

I could write a book, not this simple blog post, on all the great things I’ve discovered over the years with Heidi.

Travel has been a huge one.

She encouraged me to travel to Egypt this year.

I got home just before the virtually total shutdown due to the pandemic.

We also have discovered the joy of being cat parents in the past decade.

HoneyBear, our rescue Siamese, has been a huge part of our lives for years.

To combine our loves, I have posted pictures of cats – taken this March in Cairo – as a tribute to my beloved wife, Heidi Johnson-Wright.
