"With the dawning of 2013, the interwebs are awash in lists detailing exactly what to watch out for in the coming year and, in a way, this is one more of those. But not exactly. Though firmly rooted in placemaking trends that have gained notable traction over the past year, this list contains not so much what we’re going to see as it does what we’re hoping to see."

The blog goes on to expand on wishes for:

More Options in the Reform of Local Growth Regulations
Incremental Growth
Tactical Urbanism as Normative Citizen Practice
Better Methods for Measuring Livability
Return on Infrastructure Investment
More Streets-for-People, Near and Long-Term
Placemaking in Under-Appreciated Places
