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.

Washington Central Parks Meeting March 22

From Reyn Anderson via an e-list:

Thanks to all of you who attended our March 11 Fort Totten Walk - the weather cooperated wonderfully, and Mary Pat Rowan provided an interesting and informative tour of this overlooked jewel. Keep your eyes open for follow-up events at Fort Totten and elsewhere in the WCP system. You can see pictures of the March 11 walk at Petworth News.

In the meantime, please join us THIS THURSDAY, March 22nd at 7:30 pm at 801 Shepherd Street, NW (the "ROC") to:

- learn more about the Washington Central Parks concept and where the project stands
- hear about the status of development plans at the Armed Forces Retirement Home and McMillan Park
- find out how to become involved in this exciting initiative

We hope to see you all there. Thanks so much, and see you this Thursday.
