I read a lot of Richard Florida, who blogs at The Atlantic magazine.  He has a lot of good insight on macro American trends in urbanism.  I find what he says, though, apply very specifically to some of the changes that Tulsa is going through.

This seems to be about the best place on local development.  I don't follow any national blogs.

Batesline, though I'm an infrequent reader, does have development and historical posts from time-to-time, FAIK.

I hope you read and enjoy it! It's still somewhat under construction so it's pretty crude right now.

ZYX, your interest in development is amazing for someone your age.  What sort of field do you want to get into after HS & college?

Architecture most likely, but I have thought a little about energy and medical engineering too.

Architecture is my field, though I'm currently working on the construction side.  If you are interested in development it is the way to go.  You find out about most projects well before anyone else, but often you can't say anything...   ;)
