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.

This is another version of the classic comparison of how much space people take up on the roads depending on the type of transport/form of mobility that they use to get somewhere.

Of course, General Electric had the same kind of idea almost 70 years ago...
