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.

Note the lack of a "call to action." See "Running Scared: We're Too Frightened to Deal with the Real Issues in Adolescent Substance Abuse," about why the "Just Say No To Drugs" campaign had little impact. Also see this description of social marketing.
