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.

Not waiting around for someone to do it for you

Frozen Tropics reports on the newly developing Trinidad Ivy City Community Garden Club (which is focusing on Trinidad at the outset). Last weekend, a group of neighbors got together to beautify part of Montello Avenue.

Congratulations!

When it comes down to it, self-help makes all the difference.
