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.

Greenroof Tour at Casey Trees (Sierra Club)

From the DC Chapter of the Sierra Club:

Location: Casey Trees, 1425 K Street, NW, Washington, DC
When: Tuesday, June 6, 5:30pm

The largest greenroof downtown and the first on a commercially-owned building in the District was installed on the Casey Tree building at 1425 K Street NW in June 2004, and we have arranged a tour and reception. From 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM, tour the 3,500 square foot project, and from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, learn about the benefits of greenroofs and about the chapter's energy efficiency and green building initiatives at a reception on the greenroof.
