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.

Learning opportunities not too far outside of the borders of our fair city (Washington, DC)

1. The Preservation Maryland conference will be held May 18th and 19th in Annapolis. Check the website for the schedule and registration information.

2. The Anacostia Trails Heritage Area in Prince George's County is having a training on April 19th, in College Park. It could well be worth attending for "market research" purposes. Interesting, one of the sponsors is the Department of Anthropology at UMD-College Park. Cultural Conference Brochure.

3. The National Alliance of Preservation Commissions, which because of its name, people think is only for government boards, but isn't, is meeting in Baltimore, July 27 to 30.
