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.

Jane Jacobs exhibit, NYC

There's still time to see the exhibit at the Municipal Arts Society in New York City.

From their website:

Jane Jacobs and the Future of New York Extended

Due to unprecedented interest, the Municipal Art Society’s acclaimed exhibition Jane Jacobs and the Future of New York will now be on display through Saturday, January 26, 2008.

Originally scheduled to close at the beginning of the month, the exhibition, which encourages viewers to observe what works in the city and empowers them to become citizen activists for positive change, has been extended for three weeks. Click here for more details about the exhibit, including gallery hours, and here for audio and video podcasts of the fall public program series that accompanied the exhibit.
