First Post

Welcome to Renewed City, a St. Louis based blog documenting how sprawl and decay are damaging our country's urban and rural areas, and positive steps being taken against them. I will focus on what is going on the world of sprawl, urban renewal, city planning, "gentrification," land use law, and other related areas such as transportation and energy. As much as they interest me, I will avoid national politics except as they relate to these areas. Although I'm based in St. Louis, I will include as many posts about other cities as possible.
