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.

DJ Nicoline and making biking sexy


DJ Nicoline

This is a photo from the Copenhagen Cycle Chic blog, featuring an attractive local dj promoting bicycling. Just think of how television ads for cars push our buttons about luxury, speed, power and attractiveness. We need to do the same for walking and bicycling.



Car ads have traveled a different road from this Studebaker ad. Also see this very old blog entry, "Making Transit Sexy," about the "Rides in the City" section of the Arlington Commuter Page website.
