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.

Andy Young - The Shameless Son

Is an article in the latest issue of The Black Commentator e-magazine. No surprise that it's excellent and discusses Andrew Young's previous work for Nike, justifying sweatshop manufacturing overseas, and for the Nigerian dictatorship. (I wonder if the country functioned better if that would significantly reduce the amount of spam e-mail? Perhaps that's Andy Young's fault as well...)

Mattwdc is a little peeved that I edited his language when I quoted from him yesterday (I didn't use the f* word because you know, I want to try to make it possible that I can actually get consulting work...).

So this is for Matt, so much for consulting...
