Yes, though I was mainly aping the progressive (ie, left-leaning, critical theorist, etc.) view on Portage Place which existed up until last week.

What's a "Progressive urbanist"? Aren't all urbanists, just plain urbanists, there are no distinct characteristics between the?
Does this mean "progressive" in a political sense, like Democrat, Socialist, Communist (Commons)?
I'm lost here.

Yes, I mean progressive urbanists as in the political sense: the David Harvey-reading, knock on doors for the NDP, intern at CCPA, profit-is-a-dirty-word, left-leaning urbanists. As opposed to pro-development "market urbanists," and generally ones who don't apply a critical lense to absolutely everything.
