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.

A different focus on public art

on "real" artists, in public places, strengthening the pedestrian experience in Indianapolis. Check out the public art page of the Arts Council of Indianapolis website, as well as the website on the exhibition of public art signs throughout the city by Julian Opie.

Also see this tv story from an Indianapolis television station about the economic impact of local arts, "Arts draw in big bucks for Indy."
