This edition of Weekend Reading is all sorts of random. It's like urbanism salad!ITEM ONE: The story of Bummer and Lazarus, San Francisco's most famous pooches.
ITEM TWO: The "informal settlement"-watching blog Squatter City, written by the author of Shadow Cities.
ITEM THREE: Mexico City's mayor tries to push vendors off of the streets, but meets opposition from "a 63-year-old ex-con and great-grandmother."
ITEM FOUR: More radio hijinx from BLDGBLOG and DJ/rupture.
ITEM FIVE: The Washington Post asks "can globalization for for the world's slums?"
ITEM SIX: Will South America's first eco-city be built in rising-star Bogotá? Chances are good.
ITEM SEVEN: More from Colombia, where the previously mentioned HiperBarrio project continues to improve the city. For more on that resurgent city, click here.
See? Urbanism salad. Just like I promised. Check back over the weekend, as more of the Neighbor's Manifesto will be posted.
