As we hope this list makes obvious, urbanists are becoming more aware of the essential contributions of women and people of color throughout history and in the present, but we have a long way to go to achieve equal standing for all people in the built and natural environments. Overall, the list is far less male, and less white, than the previous version, but urbanism has been long dominated by one group. On the subject of evolution, this list includes 17 women, which is a large increase from the 2009 list's nine. There were certainly some surprises to follow, and more than a little evolution from the previous "Top Thinkers" list generated by the Planetizen audience in 2009. It probably won't surprise anyone that Jane Jacobs won this vote by a long shot, basically lapping the competition. Names on the list date back as far as 498 BCE, but there's also no shortage of contemporary thinkers, activists, planners, and designers in the final list of 100.

I also think it's lazy writing to give both men 3-letter names because it's another way for the reader to get mixed up. I don't want to have to go back 3 pages to see whose section it is or determine the back and forth between characters. Many reviewers have pointed out the difficulty in figuring out which character is speaking, and this just gets worse and worse. However, the further the story progressed, the more I disliked it. I started out enjoying this series despite its tremendous need for editing. |
