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.

How will D.C. address the needs of all its residents from middle class working families to those threatened with homelessness? How will D.C. ensure that rising demand for housing won't push out long time residents or prevent moderate income families from settling into city neighborhoods?
