Great Response!

Thanks to everyone who has responded to my survey thus far. In 3 days, I've got around 50 responses...so we're starting to get statistically significant and that's the goal! Could we get 100? that would be awesome! Thanks again to Andrea of DigitAG& as well as Urban Planning Blog for helping me out. But please keep voting and spread the word if you can.

In the mean time, I've started a thread at a really great forum for urban planning called Cyburbia. The thread can be found at: http://www.cyburbia.org/forums/showthread.php?t=40277 Here I've posted the survey, but I've also posed the question in a more open-ended format. So far, I've had some pretty interesting discussions about parametrics in planning relative to pragmatic and theoretical issues in planning, which is great...sort of proves the relevance of my inquiry. And I've been able to "spread the word" to some planners. Take a look!
