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.

Little girl in a park with Union Station in the background, Washington, D.C.

I knew I had seen the photo before, the photo used in the cover of Howard Gillette's book, referenced in an earlier blog entry today. It's from the Office of War Information-Farm Security Agency photo collection, now housed at the Library of Congress. These photos are from around 1943.
