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.

Is an article co-authored by Jan Gehl, the Danish placemaking expert. I should have included this paper in yesterday's roundup on reading recommendations. I have mentioned this piece, which is available as an article in Urban Design International, but it turns out that the Centre for Public Space Research has published the paper separately.
