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 mayoral candidate to vote for

if you live in Norwalk, Connecticut. From "Candidate wants novel stance on old buildings," in the Norwalk Advocate:

"Historic buildings are important to our city's identity, and make Norwalk look and feel like Norwalk - not like Westport or New Canaan or Bridgeport," Briggs said. "Many of these buildings go back to our country's founding or before. But the truth is that if we do nothing, they will crumble and disappear or be demolished, one by one."
