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.

La ciudad es para nosotros

Unfortunately, I haven't taken up the study of Spanish lately, as my life is more focused on English speaking matters. But I was looking at some Spanish language music videos by one of my favorites, Julieta Venegas, and the video "Eres para mi" is set on the streets of a city (more likely a production set). I liked the fact that the video is set in a public place, with people, when compared to the typically very much self-involved music video.



This also brings up the great song, and video, "En la ciudad de la furia" para Soda Estereo.
