The politicking and positioning over who will control the destiny of the land and infrastructure of the country never ends. It's like a dance. Or a tournament.
March might be over but the NCAA Tournament isn't.
For some reason, "March Madness" or the "Big Dance," as it's sometimes called, seems an apt analogy for the ongoing competition over the scarcity of space, funds, and hours in the day that defines the practice of planning and urban design. So we decided to lay out some of the top-seeded competitors in the sport, somewhat haphazardly arranged by regional significance, for a new kind of tournament.
Feel free to keep track of the tournament's progress at home—we'll promise to deliver the information you need to keep tabs on the games and decide who's coming out ahead and which cause might be worthy of your support.
The good thing about this tournament: Even when it seems like all is lost (or won), there will be another chance, for new players and new teams, to write the next chapter of civilization.
