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.

Foggy Bottom-GWU in the Examiner

The stakes here take "Town-gown" issues to a level unlike most communities--schools like Columbia, NYU, and Penn often function similarly, although Penn's situation is much different, where they are more oriented towards stabilization of the area outside the campus, in large part out of necessity. The other schools, it's more of a manifest destiny thing. See Harry Jaffe's column "Foggy Bottom loses ground to GW."
