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.

Competitive Identity: The New Brand Management for Nations, Cities and Regions

I write about Simon's work from time to time in the blog. It's very important and thought provoking. See the previous blog entry, "Creating Brand Washington," which links to a number of other posts about place branding and competitive identity, and authenticity.
