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.

People organizing, community organizing in Baltimore

An excerpt from a broadcast email from the Citizens Planning and Housing Association in Baltimore:

Another opportunity for active citizenship is coming up this Saturday, May 12, 12-5 pm -- the Baltimore Opportunity Summit sponsored by the Safe and Sound Campaign and others to push for better education and smarter budget priorities here in Baltimore. Click here for more information and to register for this free event.

If you click through, it's pretty interesting, both the Summit and the Safe and Sound Campaign. (I'd go to observe, and I might still, but I have a prior commitment starting in the afternoon.)
