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.

I think it's possible to "reverse commute" to Annapolis, by MTA Commuter bus from the New Carrollton subway station. I have to confirm this though. Or if anyone commutes there and can take an additional passenger for a couple days...
