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.

Free Tours of City Places in Washington, DC

Walking Town DC logo
From Cultural Tourism DC:

Cultural Tourism DC presents WalkingTown, DC Spring Edition (Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27), a weekend of free neighborhood walkingtours (and a few bike tours) across the city.

Follow professional guides and community leaders as they share historic anecdotes, point out architectural gems, and discuss current issues. Discover both established and emerging Washington neighborhoods from Capitol Riverfront; H Street, NE; and Anacostia, in addition to better known spots like Georgetown, Capitol Hill, and Embassy Row. All tours are free! Pick one (or several!) at WalkingTown, DC Spring Edition make reservations if needed, and just show up!

I'm doing tours on Saturday (Florida Market and Alleys in SE/Capitol Hill) and on Sunday (H Street Alleys).
