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.

Also, Dennis Jaffe, Chair of the Citizens Advisory Committee for the Metropolitan Washington Transportation Planning Board, writes:

On Wednesday morning, July 20th, the National Capital Area Transportation Planning Board (TPB) will convene a special work session with additional participants on the topic of "incident response coordination" in response to a letter I sent on Tuesday, April 19th as chairman of the TPB's Citizens Advisory Committee.

More than 3 1/2 years after 9/11, the letter called for a deliberative conclusion and expeditious action regarding recommendations issued by a special Transportation Planning Board (TPB) task force which aim to improve incident response coordination and communication by our region's transportation agencies.
