The urban design analysis is excellent - wonderful diagrams like the structural analysis diagram, coupled with insightful analysis like the "shatter zone" concept. I'd love to understand more about the pros and cons of the storytelling methodology: it seems a better way of getting positive community input than stickies-on-boards (which can often lead to a focus on negatives) - it would be fascinating to find out in more detail how it worked out, how the cascading training worked, etc etc. How about a future blog giving your views on the storytelling?
