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.

It's telling

That no college in Washington, DC has an urban planning program. GWU used to, but the program died after funding losses during the decade long commercial and residential real estate recession in Washington. Most big cities have at least one university that offers an urban planning degree (Chicago, NYC, Philadelphia, Cleveland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Detroit, etc.).
