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.

I am not going to be able to attend tonight's meeting, but Douglas Development will be presenting their initial proposal for the Uline Arena site, which calls for building on top of the arena, as well as high density residential on 3rd St. NE.

Interestingly enough their concept plan calls for a supermarket, they depict Harris-Teeter, in the arena building. In my opinion, they are likely to land Harris-Teeter, given that H-T is locating a store in the Kalorama district of DC in a building complex owned by Douglas Development. (Given this relationship, I could even see H-T ending up in the Wonder Bread warehouse that Douglas Development owns by the Shaw-7th Street subway station.)

The presentation will be at the monthly meeting of Near Northeast Citizens, from 6-8 pm, at 660 K Street NE (7th and K Streets NE)--JO Wilson Elementary School.
