The Urbanists

The Urbanists is a "urbanist" discussion group founded in 2002 by Terry Grundy and Jeffrey Stec that continued at least through 2003.

"THE (ORIGINAL) URBANISTS"
As founding members this list represents the civic leadership already behind the Urbanist movement. Also, while several hundred names have since been added to our email distribution list, and while many people have attended the meetings and helped the movement grow, space and privacy concerns limit the listing of every contributing member.
