From 2005 to 2010 Rodney Jensen and I started an online journal called Cityscape covering a wide range of architectural, planning, environmental, infrastructure, social and economic themes. It ran in this form for 42 issues before being converted to a blog. The blog continued on further and into 2013.
Cityscape was well received and we had a contributing panel of writers in addition to ourselves. We had an email mailing out list of close to 2,000 at one stage. We received a number of awards. In 2006 it won an award in the PIA NSW Awards for Excellence in the Media Public Professional Section which we reported in Volume 14 of Cityscape, November 2006. In 2007 Cityscape won another award in the NSW Awards for Excellence in the Media Public Professional Section which we reported in Volume 20 of Cityscape June 2007.
Both Rodney and I contributed many articles to Cityscape during its much appreciated existence. Below are links to a selection of my articles. As you can see from the last one, my love of music spilled over into my other interests.
