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.

Gettysburg and the Civil War

In June I wrote a blog entry about the possibility of gambling, oops I mean "gaming" in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in the blog entry "The Gettysburg Address" as well as the listing of the "hallowed ground" of the Civil War battlefields on the "National Trust for Historic Preservation List of 11 Most Endangered Places for 2005".

Tom Gralish, photographer for the Philadelphia Inquirer, has a great set of photos showing how so many of these sites are at risk, click here for "History in peril on Route 15."
