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.

Lenox Square electronic billboard

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports, in "Lenox Square trees may get the ax" that:

The seven willow oak trees at Lenox Square's Peachtree Road entrance block some motorists' view of the mall's electronic billboard. In place of the trees, the mall envisions low-lying plants, and beautification plans include improvements to the retaining wall and removing the dated flagpoles.

Belies the whole green suburban thing doesn't it?

A couple years ago the AJC reported on State of Georgia plans to expand I-75 to something like 26 lanes.

Proposed expansion, I-75, Cobb County, Georgia
