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.

Anatomy of a Main Street building
This image is from the Main Street section of the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency's website. There are plenty of goodies throughout this site, including a photobase of all the Main Street architecture projects done with assistance from the state agency. This document is actually a pdf that has been converted to a jpg.
