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.

Man views streetscape construction, Monterey Street, Gilroy, June 24, 2006

Click through the photo and read the comments. I have a long one myself. While I think that the difficulties posed by the construction are tough on stores, the long term results are worth it, at least they have been for 8th Street SE in Washington, DC.

But one way to deal with the economic costs imposed on store proprietors is to provide, somehow, rent reductions during the construction period.
