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.

Children like to run around

Retail Design Diva has a nice entry, including some video, about the Target interactive display in Union Square in New York City.

And last weekend I was at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore. It seemed like the children that were there liked the open cavernous space in the roundhouse--because they could run around without worrying their parents too much.

Plus, it was holiday time model railroad displays, which also proved quite popular.
