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.

Anthony Flint on Sprawl today at 12:30

From the National Building Museum

Monday, May 15, 12:30-1:30 p.m.
Smart Growth Strategies: The Massachusetts Experience.

Anthony Flint, smart growth education director in the Massachusetts Office of Commonwealth Development and author of the just-published This Land: The Battle Over Sprawl and the Future of America, will discuss the Massachusetts experience with a statewide smart growth policy and the future of that policy after its champion, Governor Mitt Romney, leaves office this year. Free. Registration not required. This series of lunchtime lectures is presented in conjunction with the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Smart Growth Network.

Also see this link for a little more about Anthony Flint.

Note: I hate the term "smart growth," preferring either compact development or sustainable land use and resource planning.
