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.

The data we need...

Since I now have a "new toy" (for me anyway), a screenshot grabber, I am picking off in-line tables in html which aren't otherwise copyable in toto. Last month, I wrote an entry about how the Seattle Times and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer have been covering the ongoing Seattle Public Schools school closing story: "Other places to learn from, when thinking about DC public school closures."


The Seattle Times produced a great graphic of all the schools in the city, "Seattle Public Schools by the numbers," with a clickable pop-up graphic of statistics on each school. Do we have this kind of data available to us in an relatively easily locatable way as it relates to the school closing process in Washington, DC?

Below is an example of the pop-up data tied to the Seattle Times graphic mentioned above.
