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.

Some interesting ideas presented by the students. I have always found the urban design studio classes from Catholic University to be quite interesting. Past classes have gone on study trips to places like Portland, Oregon and Japan. Based on the board below, I wonder if they did a trip to Paris?
