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.

2 great quotes in one column

1. "It's the kind of project that involves architects but not architecture."

2. ... "this may best be described as a place people live in but don't inhabit."

-- Christopher Hume, urban design writer, Toronto Star, in "Where your car can feel at home."
