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.

Itinerant is a flickr photographer in San Francisco. His work is awesome.

His photo here sheds some light about issues relevant to putting streetcar infrastructure underground. (Which I still prefer.) Here's his caption: "Sometimes the cables that pull the cars break and get snagged under the streets. According to the MUNI guys, they're a bitch to fix."
