His article focuses on the aspect of heritage preservation, which factors into RMJM&#8217;s weighting and criteria, and he notes that Portland seems to beat out Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>From there, Berger segues into whether or not (or to what extent) citizens are &#8220;pleased with their urban architecture,&#8221; and observes that only LA residents are &#8220;less happy with their city&#8221; than Seattlites.  (I&#8217;m not sure how he manages the leap from heritage preservation to &#8216;being pleased&#8221; by contemporary\/new architecture, but there you have it.)<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the really useful thing about this article is that Berger lists the 7 categories RMJM used to answer the question, &#8220;what makes a design-savvy city?&#8221;, and also summarizes each aspect (with commentary of his own, in italics).  All in all, the list makes a great framework for thinking about urban design.<\/p>\n<p class=\"diigo-tags\">tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/urban_design\">urban_design<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/urbanplanning\">urbanplanning<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/seattle\">seattle<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/crosscut\">crosscut<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/knute_berger\">knute_berger<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/heritage\">heritage<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/preservation\">preservation<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diigo.com\/user\/lampertina\/designsavvy\">designsavvy<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A design-savvy city defined, by Knute Berger (Crosscut Seattle) &#8211; Annotated For future reference: Berger&#8217;s article about a report by architectural firm RMJM, which identifies America&#8217;s top 10 best-designed cities.
