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.

Unemptied trash can


Unemptied trash can
Originally uploaded by rllayman.
The Downtown DC BID doesn't appear to do much in the way of street-sidewalk cleaning services on Saturdays. K Street is always a pigsty. This past Saturday was no exception, with trash on the sidewalks, street gutters replete with trash, and overflowing trash cans.

This hardly communicates that downtown DC is a great place to be on the weekends. The deadened weekend office ghetto effect is bad enough.
