Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Georgetown's Cady's Alley makes the New York Times

In "Developer Infuses Historic Properties With Commerce," today's New York Times has an article on Anthony Lanier's upgrading of the 3300(?) block of M Street NW into "Cady's Alley", an upscale furniture and design district. All in all, it seems like a reasonably accurate article.

Cady's Alley -- Georgetown, Washington, DCCarol T. Powers for The New York Times. Historic buildings along M Street in Washington that had fallen into disrepair have been rehabilitated and turned into elegant shops.
