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.

Momentum magazine cover, issue 31

Morgan calls our attention to this great magazine from Canada, Momentum which:

reflects the lives of people who ride bikes. Momentum provides urban cyclists with the inspiration, information and resources to help them fully enjoy their riding experience and connect with their local and global cycling communities.

If we're going to talk about other great publications from Canada we must mention Spacing on public spaces and Maisonneuve a Montreal-based publication that covers urbanism quite a bit.

Umm, ever since I worked at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, publisher of the Nutrition Action Healthletter, I've wanted to do a newsletter myself. (Speaking of Canada, I came up with the idea for the Canadian edition of the CSPI newsletter, even though it took them 6 years after I left to implement it. Now it has 100,000 subscribers.)

Although I have to say between the PPS online newsletter Making Places and Next American City, Metropolis (although it's a bit too oriented to modernism for me), City Journal, the unparalleled City Limits, and Gotham Gazette and Transportation Alternatives from NYC, not to mention school-reform publications like Catalyst-Chicago and the Chicago Reporter (I miss the old "Neighborworks" from the Center for Neighborhood Technology) do we really need another publication? Below are some fake magazine covers I made a few years ago.
