Rome was built in a year...

...or at least, the initial infrastructure was, if the analogy applies to my blog.

Just over a year ago I set out to start the 'The Urban Composition' blog. My aim was to do a series of test posts and play with how I could use the interwebs to express and explore my ideas surrounding urban issues.

Turns out a year goes by quickly, and whilst the blog fell recently dormant, it's now roaring back into life!

Whilst I've continued to work at CABE over the past year and start the MSc International Planning at The Bartlett, UCL, I've expanded my knowledge of the built environment, and expanded the focus of this blog from 4 areas to 7 - the:

1) geographically-spatial
2) iconographically-visual
3) dramatically-kinetic
4) artistically-tangible
5) politically-infused
6) environmentally-underpinned
7) culturally-enveloped

So here we go, after a very busy 12 months and with an even busier 12 ahead - I'd like to welcome you to the full-running, full-steam 'The Urban Composition blog'!

I'm planning on staying ad-hoc with posts - from as many as a few a day to at least once or twice a month (depending on what pops up)... links will break, discourse will change... but the city never sleeps...
