The Atlantic blog will cover urban landscape issues in cities across the east coast from St. John&#8217;s to Fredericton, Moncton to Charlottetown, Saint John to Sydney.<\/p>\n<p>Our launch party attracted over 150 people. Most of the people I talked to expressed a great deal of excitement that Spacing could help further the discussion about a variety of public space issues that are slightly off the local radar, especially from a political standpoint (read the post about <a href=\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/atlantic\/2009\/10\/28\/paying-the-price-for-public-transit\/\">Halifax&#8217;s transit plan debate<\/a> to get an idea). As publisher of Spacing, I&#8217;m quite excited to learn about the challenges east coast cities face as they become more aware of the benefits of progressive urban design (the debate about the <a href=\"..\/2009\/10\/17\/walk-dont-walk-scramble\/\">scramble intersection in Charlottetown<\/a> is a perfect example).<\/p>\n<p><strong>LINKS<\/strong>: The Coast has nice <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecoast.ca\/ArtAttack\/archives\/2009\/10\/29\/let-the-urban-revolution-begin-spacing-atlantic-launches\">review of the event<\/a>, you can check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/spacing\/sets\/72157622563654199\/\">photos of the event on our Flickr account<\/a>, or see some of our favourites after the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/spacing.ca\/atlantic\/2009\/10\/29\/spacing-atlantic-launch-party-an-afterword\/\">continue reading<\/a>&#8221; link.
