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.

Woodward Avenue in the Oakland County suburbs north of Detroit, Michigan is the place for the annual "Dream Cruise" event, where people drive and display classic cars, and hundreds of thousands of people attend the "parade." That event is next Saturday.

Apparently, there is a counter-cruise the week before, to promote alternative mobility methods, according to the article "Bikers, skaters turn out for 'Green Cruise'" from the Detroit News.
