Following participation in the LAI-Boston SemiQ/250th event on July 23-24, Baltimore LAI Chapter member and architect Klaus Philipsen wrote a piece on his “Community Architect Baltimore” blog comparing urban planning and economic development in Boston and Baltimore–Why is Boston Growing and Baltimore Shrinking? (July 31, 2026). Though Klaus does not expressly mention the LAI-Boston tour, his analysis reflects much of what he experienced on the tour. The “Community Architect Baltimore” blog is a first-rate resource for understanding Baltimore and planning trends in general.
