Speaking of the Mirror of Justice blog, they’ve been having a great exchange on city planning, natural law, the New Urbanists, sprawl, and much more. The exchange started with Eduardo M. Peñalver’s op/ed in the Washington Post , and elicited comments here , here , here , h ere , here , and here . Now, Philip Bess, author of Till We Have Built Jerusalem: Architecture, Urbanism, and the Sacred , and the Director of Graduate Studies at the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture, has written a long response . The entire exchange is worth checking out.
(You can read the three articles Bess has written for First Things here .)
