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.

Current Washington Business Journal survey

If you were opening a new business in the region, in which up-and-coming neighborhood would you put it? From the entry:

It's all about location, location, location. The best business in the world falls flat on its face when opened in the wrong place. Where you open up shop has as much to do with what you do as it does with what your employees want. Fortunately for businesses in Greater Washington, we have plenty of dynamic neighborhoods inside and outside the Beltway. Employees and shoppers want short commutes, a decent cup of coffee and more than a Wendy's for lunch.

The second question offers these choices, with a space for comments:

-- Southeast D.C.
-- NoMa
-- Shirlington
-- Ballston
-- Reston
-- Silver Spring
-- Other
