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.

Imagine your local newspaper seeking citizen ideas for urban redesign...

(Note to Washington Post...)

The Seattle Times is doing it. See "Design your own Seattle Center." The page includes a number of site plans as created and written up by readers.

You could argue that this is a takeoff of the Project for Public Spaces "place game" where groups work together on "urban design and placemaking" approaches to making their nieghborhoods and communities better.
