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.

Neighborhoods & Zoning, talk, Sat. 9/15

From George Idelson, President, Cleveland Park Citizens Association:

Is there an answer to one-size-fits- all zoning? As DC enters an era of rezoning stemming from the new Comprehensive Plan, residents want to know: "Can a Neighborhood Control its Own Destiny?" DC's recently appointed Office of Planning Director, Harriet Tregoning, will be the featured speaker at the Saturday, September 15, meeting of the Cleveland Park Citizens Association: A panel of prominent zoning advocates, including Nancy MacWood, Barbara Zartman, and Thorn McGrath will lead the question period. The meeting takes place at the Cleveland Park Library starting at 10:15 a.m. All welcome.
