Jane-in-Orbit is a way for me to keep in touch with people who may be interested in my work as an environmental planner. I'm off Aug-Sep 08 to the US East Coast, Portugal, and the UK to study waterfronts and what make them tick as people places. Through my blog entries, I hope you get to know the people I meet and their urban waterfronts. Welcome to Jane-in-Orbit and I wish you a pleasant flight!
Just to orient you to the layout: With each entry I will probably post photos and maybe videos. Check them out under "today's picks" and "video bar" in the right column. In "what soup?" at the bottom of the page you can find news feeds from the places I visit.
Finally, thank you, Professor Matt Kondolf, at the University of California, Berkeley for making my travels to Portugal possible.

Braindrop at Burning Man 2009, a 17-foot (~ 5m) drop of water made of laser-cut swirling steel bringing awareness to the element's vital importance to the planet's evolutionary balance. This picture was taken at the very last moment, before the sculpture was to be lifted off-site. Stay tuned for updates on the urban, environment, water, and planning stuff I'm involved in.
