A New Pattern Language for Growing Regions, and Wiki site for writing and editing your own patterns

Michael Mehaffy and his colleagues have compiled a collection of 80 new patterns to meet urban challenges, including some new kinds of of patterns and patterns addressing new urban issues. The new patterns are intended for people to use as “seeds” for their own projects around the world. Ward Cunningham has designed a wiki “repository” in which people will be able to write and edit their own patterns,. Right now the site is read-only, but it will be editable and savable as a separate copy very soon.

The work is being shared through UN-Habitat at the World Urban Forum, and is available through the wiki site, as well as downloadable pdf, and the book at Stasis.
