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.

Fascinating article about the future of the West End Theater District in London

From the Guardian, "Boom or bust: The West End is thriving again - but what will it be like 20 years from now? We asked Britain's leading producers and directors how they would keep London's cultural heart thriving, and three architects present their radical visions of theatreland's future."

Interesting thoughts about how to remain innovative and interesting in the face of success (and increasing costs).
