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.

Petworth News

Another good neighborhood-oriented weblog is Petworth News by Bill Crandall. His blog entry on Streetcars in DC is nice and includes a map of the proposed lines. And his blog alerted me to the collection of DC trolley photos online at the "NYC Subway" website, a site that I have linked to for weeks under "Dr. Transit's Link Prescriptions"--and I didn't even know about the trolley photos there.
