Class project
It appears that there is a class project editing urbanism. This is a good thing, but it's not doing much to produce a unified, concise encyclopedia article. Instead, it's produced a rambling overlong jumble of individual elements, which don't do much to illuminate the concept. The article is far too long, goes into far too much detail about individual projects, and is written in excessively academic prose. Would some of the participants please broaden their focus to overall article improvement, removing extraneous detail, improving the prose and focus, and generally improving the article rather than just expanding a particular segment?

Thank you for your contributions. An essential part of editing Wikipedia is collaboration. The current state of Urbanism is bad enough, and the dozens of recent edits have not made it better since many of them do not conform to Wikipedia's guidelines. To show other editors that you have the article's best interest at heart, please begin with two things: leaving edit summaries to explain what you did in individual edits (see Help:Edit summary), and engaging in conversation on the article's talk page. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 01:11, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
