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.

Considering Downtown DC: The Center City Action Agenda 2007

DC Builds
National Building Museum
Wednesday, 6:30 – 8:00 pm

Where is Downtown DC heading? Will it come into its own, with a character befitting a great capital city; while also thriving as a diverse, dynamic, and culturally rich centerpiece for the Washington area? Alex Krieger, principal of Chan Krieger Sieniewicz, will present strategic actions needed to ensure DC's competitiveness and livability. He will discuss the visionary framework and the near-term strategies developed in cooperation with local and federal partners. This lecture is presented in collaboration with the DC Office of Planning and held in conjunction with Washington: Symbol & City, which will be open for viewing.
