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.

(More) Cycling is cool

Reports the Telegraph, in "Goodbye Lycra, hello street cred," and in the December issue of Vogue, in the View feature by Sally Singer, "Wheels on Fire." (The Vogue article, not online, has a nice photo of Ms. Deyn on a Velib bicycle en Paris.)
Chanel bicycle
Chanel launches a limited-edition, eight-gear bicycle complete with leather saddle and quilted panniers, adorned with the trademark interlinked Cs, of course. But at £6,200, it's probably not a good idea to leave it chained to the railings outside the local pub.
