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.

Too busy to write much now, including about parking

So quickly read these articles before they aren't available on the NYT website:

-- For Parking Spot, The Price Is Right At $56,250 a Tire
-- THE BASICS; No Bed, No Bath, but There’s Parking


Plus I've blogged about this article before:


-- No Parking: Condos Leave Out Cars, also from the New York Times.

And I wanted to write about pushback on changing parking regulations in Montgomery County. See this from the Post, "Montgomery Parking-Fee Increase Unlikely," subtitled "After Hundreds of Complaints, Leggett Urges Council to Repeal New Policy."

Check out this NPR interview with UCLA urban planning professor Donald Shoup.
