Hi There! I’m Stephanie Rouse, the Planning Lady from Nebraska.

I’ve worked for cities across the Midwest, from Texas to Minnesota and everywhere between, helping create more vibrant communities.

I’m an urban planner who reads and writes about a range of topics that all lead to a more sustainable life including preserving buildings, reducing waste, gardening, and becoming more self-sufficient.

I love to garden, can, and find new ways to conserve, driving my husband mad along the way.
